If they're all so brilliant and I'm such an affirmative-action hire, how come they didn't catch me?

I think people can learn from my experience - you know, any young people who are under pressure, whether you work on Wall Street or you work in a factory in Alabama, and young journalists.

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.

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.

Racism built me into a person that was set up to be self-destructive.

I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.
