watch the vid of heather mills answering questions if you can (full screen is better)

i noticed that she answers the question regarding the date of the incident with no abnormal eye action, however, the next question regarding giving permission, she leaves her eyes closed when answering the first one, rolls them up to her left for the second and the third question she does a little similar eye close to the first question.

is there any proven reasoning behind why people do this and what does it tend to mean? i've seen on lots of occassion (usually on tv reality type shows tbf) where someone is asked a question, a personal question ie. 'do you like this person? 'yes, i hope to see them again' or even paying someone a compliment 'that was the best dessert i've ever had' where there is a definitive closing of the eyes upon answering. is this because they're not being truthful and genuine or is it some other reason like their mind does not find it easy to be so open?
