I would rather have been shot straight-up in cold blood-but to be set up? By people who you trusted? That's bad.

I trusted Martin Bashir to come into my life and that of my family because I wanted the truth to be told.

He who never puts his trust in any man will never be deceived.

Nothing has saddened me so much in life as the hardness of heart of educated people.

I truly love my fans. Truly, truly from the heart. That's the real truth. I love them.

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