I have good relationships with Hillary Clinton Joseph Biden and especially Richard Holbrooke - he is my teacher. I learned a lot of great things from him.

I think no one could have made peace in Bosnia besides Holbrooke.

I'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time so go figure.

Even though I never worked with her it was still really cool to have Brooke Shields on set. She was so nice and so funny.
