"I don't want anyone making a decision without great public knowledge and taxpayer understanding."

"She was hired to come in and -- and produce films. And that's the reason she was hired."

"I've never paid a dime of money to any of the people that are involved. I've never asked anybody to pay a dime of money, never been told that any money has been paid. Nothing has been done at my reque..."

"Because I did not want the public to know what I had done. Very simple."
