As a public figure, you have to maintain a certain demeanor. We also have responsibility to the public, but of course, I'm not perfect. I have a lot of flaws; my husband can tell you that, my friends, even. They know who I am.

I'm in the public eye. I know I'm not going to be treated like a normal person walking down the street.

I don't claim any moral or ethical high ground, but I also have chosen not to run for public office. Shouldn't there be a higher standard of conduct for public officials?

I am not made to be pulled into the public as a person. I feel threatened there.

My integrity had been called into question; I was being called a liar, and I am not a liar. And I just think it is time that we stop viewing public figures as fair game.

Being honest with the public is how they respect you.

I'm a public figure. It's up to me to take the initiative to explain things. It's my responsibility.
