DIANE SAWYER, ABC NEWS: It's been reported you've made $5 million making speeches, the president's made more than $100 million.

HILLARY CLINTON: Well, if you -- you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education, you know, it was not easy. Bill has worked really hard .... we had to pay off all our debts which was, you know, we had to make double the money because of obviously taxes....and get us houses and take care of family members.

SAWYER: ...do you think Americans will understand five times the median income for one speech?

CLINTON: ....I thought making speeches was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do.
