When you're young, you tend to do things like that because you want people to think you're a nice guy. At some point, I realized that I'm doing this not because I want people to think I'm a nice guy. I'm doing this because I think it's the right thing to do. |
Whether he's going to be able to do that, given what he's done, to me, doubtful. He has no credibility, I don't think, in that area. It's going to be tough. I just hope his life gets righted and he does the right thing. |
