Monica Lewinsky is describing her participation in the production of a documentary about her life. She discusses that she brought the concept of a documentary to HBO in 2000, when there were reports that television movies were being made based on books about her. This recommends that Lewinsky wanted to take control of her own narrative and tell her story in her own words. She wanted to make sure that her story was told accurately and without sensationalism. By developing a documentary, she was able to do this and have her story heard on her own terms. Lewinsky's quote is a testament to her strength and determination to take control of her own narrative and tell her story in her own words.
