Mtv Was Completely Unaware Of It. It Was Not My Intention That It Go As Far As It Did. I Apologize To Anyone Offended - Including The Audience, Mtv, Cbs And The Nfl.

I Can Express Gratitude For The Simple Act Of Being Able To Breathe In And Breathe Out. I Can Move Away From Darkness And Depression To Light And Hope.
