• “This is the first time you have ever seen me speak. As you are all aware, I don’t actually go out and speak very often, but this was, you know, this was something that was important to me, and I wanted to get something out there before I came here.
• This is especially true in light of all the noise and other similar things that have been building up and other similar things.
