Rob Ford: “I'm not stepping down. Don't worry.”

I embarrassed everyone in the city and I will be forever sorry. There is only one person to blame for this, and that is myself. I know by admitting my mistake was the right thing to do and I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off…

It was out of sheer stupidity. That's all it was. I'm not going to blame something or use an excuse or cop out. I take full responsibility for my mistakes.

I'm serving the people. I'm saving taxpayers money. And you know what? I made mistakes. I drank too much. I smoke some cracks sometimes. I -- what can I say? I made a mistake. I'm human.

Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine, but no -- do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors.
