Gabrielle Giffords Interview

Gabrielle Giffords Interview, Giffords praises husband as brave in ABC interview- Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in her first public interview since she was shot in the head in Tucson last winter, doted on her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, and called him "brave, brave, brave" as she kissed his bald head. Giffords appears on ABC's "20/20" show Monday night. It's her first extended interview since the January rampage that killed six people and wounded 13.

A segment that aired on "Good Morning America" shows a thin Giffords with a broad grin as she talks about Kelly. Her husband replied that the word "brave" was the same one that came to his mind when he thinks of her "brave and tough," he said. Then Giffords, looking directly at Kelly, responds almost in a whisper: "Tough, tough, tough."

It wasn't clear from the clip beyond those few words just how fully recovered Giffords is 10 months after the shooting. Interviewer Diane Sawyer said Giffords discusses her career plans and her recovery, and the segment included some video of Giffords' progress, from being unable to speak at all, to the point where she was ready to give a television interview.
