"One of the reasons I don't do media interviews is, in the past, the media often has its own script. One reason these stories are never told is that they are contrary to the script that people play by. The media, unfortunately, have been universally untrustworthy because they have their own notions of what I should think or I should do."

--Justice Clarence Thomas, in an interview with BusinessWeek, regarding why he is reluctant to do interviews.
