My dear Tiberius, you must not give way to youthful emotion or take it to heart if anyone speaks ill of me; let us be satisfied if we can make people stop short at unkind words.

I'd slit my wrists rather than hurt a child. I could never do that. No one will ever know how much these wicked rumors have hurt me.

I just think that when sex is used as a form of blackmail or power, it's a repugnant use of one of God's gifts.

I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.

I've seen lawyers who don't represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with dreadful allegations just as another project, an album, a video is being released.

I've been known as being a very smart guy for a long time. I don't consider myself birther or not birther, but there are some major questions here and the press doesn't wanna cover it. The press just refuses to cover it. Now if that were somebody else, they would be covering it, and they'd be throwing people out of office. But they don't want to cover it. So it's interesting.
