Clinton – self-control versus self-regulation

The difference between self-regulation and self-control; self-control, if I’m sitting here and I’m worried about what’s the next question going to be or as we walked along the hall, coming to the studio, there was a disturbance.  I can be sitting here very well-controlled, self-controlled, but my mind is spinning all over the place, not able to focus as much on you.  I’m really paying attention out there.  Biologically, inside my heart racing and my guts churning, so I appear regulated but biologically, emotionally, behaviourly I’m still.  But I am not calm, alert to learning if I’ve got something else going on.  So the self-control is what I appear. Self-regulation is much, much more complex.
