All my life I’ve been interested in other people’s stories. I’ve wanted to know them, understand them, feel them. When I grew up and got into politics, I always felt the main point of my work was to give people the chance to have better stories.

I just heard Bill Clinton say that in his biography on cd.

It's so weird...I had that sense, while Clinton was president. And that that might be one of the few things a president honorably and uniquely (as opposed to the financial powers controlling the role) could do for his or her country. To hear him confirm it, wow.
