In addition to talking about the potential of a presidential race, she also spoke about the #MeToo and Time's Up movement saying, "People talk about 'these are such dark times', but what if we shift the paradigm? Because I see it differently,” she asserts.

“I see, 'Isn't this remarkable that we're waking up?' For years, women have endured craziness. This is what's happening to people. They're allowing themselves to not just become corroded, but to become hysterical. You've got to lean to the happiness."

But when it comes to a campaign to become the next POTUS? She shares with the magazine that, "In that political structure — all the non-truths, the bulls**t, the crap, the nastiness, the backhanded backroom stuff that goes on — I feel like I could not exist,' she said. 'I would not be able to do it. It's not a clean business. It would kill me."
