without skipping a beat.

"You had a very public revelation about your own private life. Do you ever think that a kid in the audience, a teenager, might look up to you hear you talk about behavior and think...well Jesse fooled around... why's he telling me I can't? He's a hypocrite!"

"Ima suggest to them that we use our experiences to teach. Every football coach has fumbled a ball. It doesn't make him less of a coach. Sometimes it's your own experience that gives you the power to speak. And to speak truth to crisis in ways that matter. And when you do that, you become...believable."

-Jesse Jackson
