When I write that I've known about something for a long time, that's not a boast. That's a confession. It's me acknowledging that I have withheld something important from the public.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a boastful person. I like my actions to speak for me.
There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.
There are things I've done in the past I'm not proud of - and I could talk about them if I wanted to - but I don't reveal my secrets... I prefer certain things to remain personal; there have to be boundaries. And I don't think you need a scandal to have an interesting story.
We confess our bad qualities to others out of fear of appearing naive or ridiculous by not being aware of them.
I am ashamed of confessing that I have nothing to confess.
I do not deny I brought most of my notoriety on myself, nor do I apologize for it.
You know, I have found out in the course of a long public life that the things I did not say never hurt me.
Showing your life so public is a mistake sometimes, but I blame myself as much as anyone else.
My writing is remarkably non-confessional; you actually learn very little about me.
Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.
