I lost my public self, or had it stolen. In a way, it was a form of identity theft.

I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton. Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened.

I chose to not wear a wire and tape people. I chose to not get immunity until - were accepted, whatever - until the independent counsel's office was comfortable with what I said was the truth.

The most potent thing we can do is to bring more compassion online.

And understandably so, that when you're in legal jeopardy, you really cannot put yourself in a position to open yourself up to the media.

Well, for me, really, I think it was I wanted to try and clear up some of the misperceptions that were out there and fill in some of the historical gaps.

Public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry.
