I think when somebody seeks mercy and forgiveness and means it, and I was with [Donald Trump] the entire time, including when he learned about this, people ought to think about that. They ought to think about when somebody asks you for forgiveness contrite and for mercy - are you willing to give it?

The whole celebrity thing didn't work for Hillary Clinton. She tried that in her campaign and it failed.

I believe that Donald Trump is someone who is not fully understood for how compassionate and what a great boss he is to women.

The excuse of divided government is over: they have the House and the Senate as well; they have the state legislatures; they have a majority of the governors. And that's exciting. But for me, I think the lesson also is all the opportunities out there for women, increasingly in politics and media and public policy and government affairs - all the things we do here in Washington - that we still have to make choices, there are limits.

I was a lawyer and I have been married to a lawyer. I think one lawyer per household is plenty. It's a good quota for us.

Don't be too busy for each other because that is something today that I find to be incredibly unfortunate.

Washington has never seen anything like President Donald Trump.
