It's a very difficult thing losing a parent but I think there's an added complication for me because he was so well-loved and he had this very open charm that made people feel they had a personal relationship with him.

I have my ethics and morals. I have my anchor point of what is right and wrong in real life but I'm not afraid to entertain any and every aspect of personality in relationship to creating a character.

For me I'm not a jealous person. That's just not my thing. You have to have trust in your relationship.

Mine is just a simple old human story - of one person trying with great rigor and discipline to comprehend her personal relationship with divinity.

When a person goes into a relationship emotionally needy they are not going to have discernment in choosing people.

What works in a relationship of very public people is not making the relationship public - keeping it as personal as it can be. It's the only way it is real.

So after the Lewinsky scandal everything changed and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time which were social to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

I'm a real relationship person - contrary to public perception. I'm either in one or I'm not.

And I think if you look at any relationship for the relationship to be productive and to move forward and to grow sometimes things have to be said that one person or the other person is not going to like to hear.

I spend a great deal of time with the President. We have a very close personal loyal relationship. I'm not as they say a potted plant in these meetings.
