Hold on ... Say your son or daughter has just gotten killed in a car accident and you're plastered out of your mind at 3 a.m. Are you going to be able to handle that?

I've never quit anything in my life.

The people are going to speak. I'm not going to have people who say, 'You can't do this, you can't do that'. I'm going to fight for the taxpayers like I always have.

I do not use crack cocaine, nor am I an addict of crack cocaine.

My heart bleeds for them when someone gets killed. But it’s their own fault at the end of the day.

I'm try[ing] to catch up on my work and you know I keep my eyes on the road, but I'm a busy man.

Yes I have smoked crack cocaine. But no - do I? am I an addict? - No. Yes, I've made mistakes. All I can do now is apologize and move on.
