I am immensely contrite. And I'm sorry for the damage I've done.

I believe my own demons would have caught up with me regardless of my race and regardless of whether I worked at 'The Times.

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.

When we report stories, we don't just want to talk to people who did the right thing. We want to talk to people who did the wrong thing.

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

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.

It's very painful to have something that's not true written about you.
