These days, everything is magnified very quickly by the media - the slightest slip can turn into a catastrophe.
I built my entire life on the idea of independence.
I have never worn dresses by grands couturiers.
I know politics; I know the media.
My feeling is that maintaining financial independence is also a healthy way to keep my feet on the ground.
Being First Lady is playing supporting act. I am not seeking notoriety and I am not seeking to grab the limelight.
