I Think My Image Gets Distorted In The Public's Mind. They Don't Get A Clear Or Full Picture Of What I'm Like, Despite The Press Coverage I Mentioned Early. Mistruths Are Printed As Fact, In Some Cases, And Frequently Only Half Of A Story Will Be Told. The Part That Doesn't Get Printed Is Often The Part That Would Make The Printed Part Less Sensational By Shedding Light On The Facts.
