LARRY KING, HOST
Good evening – I think. And welcome to LARRY KING LIVE. I don‘t see myself; I assume we‘re on. Senator HILLARY Rodham Clinton, or should I say "Harry Potter," is our guest. Two hundred thousand copies, according to Simon and Shuster, sold yesterday of her book Living History. What do you make of that?.
SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON , NEW YORK
Well, I‘m very gratified.
KING
Why did you do this?
HILLARY
Well you know every first lady-- and you know this so well, because I think you‘ve interviewed everyone, I don‘t know how far back-- but many of my predecessors -- and I always enjoyed their books. I thought they gave us insight and information about what the experience was like in the White House.
So long before Bill‘s term ended, I began thinking about thinking to do the same. And I‘m really glad I did, because although it was difficult in many respects, it gave me a chance to talk about the full range of the extraordinary time I had.
KING
Has it been hard to talk about the Lewinsky thing and the things you had to deal with?
HILLARY
Yes.
KING
Hard?
HILLARY
Yes, it was hard. I mean you know that. It was hard because these were very personal, private, painful matters that unfortunately were made public and I regret that. But given the fact that they were, they became part of history, not just my personal history. So when I had to sit down and write the book and think about what would go in, I felt obligated to address these issues.
KING
You do think, though, that once it came out it was a journalistic story ?.
HILLARY
Yes, yes.
KING
But what about the author, what about HILLARY? She has to stand by and yet be hurt.
HILLARY
You summed it up very well.
KING
Supporting your president and you‘re pretty mad at your husband.
HILLARY
That about sums it up.
KING
Was that conflicted feelings?
HILLARY
It was having to carry these two competing feelings in my head and heart at the same time. I was, as I say in the book, ready to wring his neck. I was so upset and angry with him, very disappointed.
