"For many years, no political journalist that I'd ever worked with nor myself had ever asked a politician: Why do you lie? It's sort of a topic that is omnipresent and yet never discussed."
"They make a calculation - am I going to gain more from making this statement that is false than I'm going to lose. It's that simple."
"Lying is not a victimless crime. When politicians choose to lie, there are often people who suffer, and often an individual who suffers a great deal, often someone whose reputation is damaged, whose life is turned upside-down."
