Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before, that someone who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program.

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

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood.

Until it happened, I really did believe that no Black person would ever shoot me. I believed that I didn't have to fear my own community, You know, I was like I represent them. I'm their ambassador to the world, they will never do me wrong.

Praise and blame, good and bad, even heat and cold, must be equally acceptable to us.

The Savior of the whole world chose twelve disciples, and even one of that small number, selected by superhuman wisdom, turned out a traitor and a devil.
