I can't say I'm not nervous at all with media and doing speeches, but I'm getting used to it and better at it, hopefully.

I was very intensely concerned with all kinds of new media.

But even after the first week, when Hart got out of the presidential race because of the Washington Post's threat to reveal a long-term relationship Hart had apparently been having with a prominent Washington woman, the media continued to embellish my past.

The media is going to treat you good one day and bad the next day.

I was disappointed not to be able to interview Mr. Clinton. I met him two years ago. I was looking forward to talking with him about issues from Africa to terrorism.

I look forward to these confrontations with the press to kind of balance up the nice and pleasant things that come to me as president.

People are inevitably disappointed, because no one's as good as Bill Clinton's first impression. Or, he's done things. He's disappointed people in a variety of ways. And so then, the fall is hard.

I'm lucky that, despite all the bad press I've had over the years, the public still seems to like me.

It might not be wise for a sometime political journalist to admit this, but the 2016 campaign doesn't seem like fun to me.

I must be out of it, but I don't know any good journalists who have excused Clinton's problems.
