Quote

When words I uttered, believing them to be true, were exposed as false, I was constrained by my duties and loyalty to the President and unable to comment. But I promised reporters and the public that I would someday tell the whole story of what I knew.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn't ever have to rely on the press for my information.

Whoever said I hated the media?

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.

I think for more than half of my career, I have refrained from talking to the media.

I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.
