I am still in touch with my Secret Service agents, most of whom are retired now. They really get to be your friends. They watched me grow up, and most of them had little kids, so I was kind of giving them a warm-up of what was coming.

Having to go through an intervention and family counseling is a wonderful experience. I would almost recommend it to anybody. It opens a lot of communication, and it opens old sores, but once it is opened and hashed out, the rewards are far greater.

We all do make foolish mistakes.

I moved out eventually of the White House and moved into a townhouse with a group of girls while I was in college.

As my mother says, You give back, you don't give up. You can always choose to help others. If you do, it will change you.

My mother and I are very close; I guess you would call us best friends.
