Quotes by Embarrassing Questions

All of us cherish our beliefs. They are, to a degree, self-defining.

It feels like a personal assault.

Embarrassed journalists ask me embarrassing questions, and they get embarrassing answers, and then hand out embarrassing stories to the embarrassing editors, who put them to the front pages of newspapers. When is this going to end?
