Some people it seems to me would like for me to crawl in a hole and disappear forever. That's just not in my nature.

One of my weaknesses happens to be lying, and I could tell you that I'm never going to lie again in my life, but that would be a lie.

I fooled some of the most brilliant people in journalism.

Some people it seems to me would like for me to crawl in a hole and disappear forever. That's just not in my nature.

I can't say anything other than the fact that I feel a range of emotions including guilt, shame, sadness, betrayal, freedom and appreciation for those who have stood by me, been tough on me, and have taken the time to understand that there is a deeper story and not to believe everything they read in the newspapers.

It's hard to say what role race really played in my case.

Once I had a better beat, I needed to have an even better one. And somewhere in that climbing, I lost sight of, sort of, my moral and ethical underpinnings.
