The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

It's not that I can't be fooled, but I'm not fooled often.

I read people; that's one of my strengths. It's not that I can't be fooled, but I'm not fooled often.

Before a man speaks it is always safe to assume that he is a fool. After he speaks, it is seldom necessary to assume it.

I never lie, so if somebody asked me a question, I told them.

I've always told the truth. I've often been wrong - but I've never knowingly lied. Not in public life. Because I don't see the need to.

I know I'm just one man trying to do one thing, and the next day is not promised to any man. I'm very humble.

In my own writing, I tend to be very honest, and my goal is to identify something people think but are afraid to say. That's not the general cultural expectation of women.

Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
