"I made mistakes regarding my career. Some of these, like people saying bad things and

letting it have some hang time, are just because I haven’t had any discipline about

defending myself."

"Like all rumors, they based those stories on something that was part true, and then made up something to make it worse than it really was. If you actually look at them, there’s no real accusation anywhere – because if any of it were true, then we’d have a legal problem."

"Something I know I contribute to my work is that whatever it takes, I find a place, I find a way to be able to concentrate. And some things that have been said about me being hard to work with, things I knew were deserving – it’s hard to communicate when you’re preoccupied and become unresponsive like I do, and to say, Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t say please when I asked for lunch."
