The First Time I Met Bill Clinton

I Know I Made Plenty Of Mistakes In My Tenure. But One Of The Things That You Learn Is To Be Very Careful And To Protect Yourself Down The Road A Little Bit, Which Is To Say You've Got To Think Ahead And Think Where Is The Story Going To Go? What Are All The Possible Outcomes? And How Do I Protect The President From Unexpected Twists And Turns In The Road?

When I Became White House Press Secretary, There Were Other Limitations That Were Thrust Upon Me. Bill Clinton Was Under Pressure To Appoint Women To Visible Positions. I Was 31, I'd Never Worked In Washington. Was I Ready For This Large And Visible Job? Still He Wanted The Credit. So He Gave Me The Job But Diminished The Job.

One Thing I Think Is Least Realistic Is That There Were Five People That Made Decisions In The Fictional 'west Wing.' In Real Life, There Are About Five Million People That Weigh In.

If People Believe You're On Their Side, They Will Trust Your Decisions.
