“A stiff apology is a second insult.”

“[This] was not someone who made one accidental statement. This was three days of significant portions of his three-hour show. He insulted me and the women of Georgetown who have received no apology. He insulted us over 53 times.”

“We almost made it to thirty seconds without an insult. I think we set a new record.”

“I categorically declare first my absolute innocence, second my lack of criminal intent, and third my effusive apologies.”

“An apology with a defense built in isn't much of an apology”

“I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.”

“I apologize.” “you aren’t sorry and don’t apologize.””

“I will not apologize for who I am.
I will not apologize for what I need.
I will not apologize for what I want!”

“That is an apology, not an explanation; and apologies only account for that which they do not alter.”

“A good apology is like antibiotic, a bad apology is like rubbing salt in the wound.”
