Anthony Weiner

I will not be resigning from Congress.

I've made some terrible mistakes, and I've hurt some people, and I've caused some pain, and I'm very sorry for that.

I have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my staff, and my friends. I have not been honest.

I intend to go back to work and try to earn the forgiveness of those that I have hurt.

I engaged in inappropriate communications and exchanges online with several women over the past three years.

I accept responsibility for all of these mistakes.

I deeply regret the pain and embarrassment I've caused my wife, Huma, and our family.

I am a flawed man and I've made some very serious mistakes.

I'm here today to again express my regret.

I have to get to know her again.

I'm not going to be a punchline for anyone.

I have a lot that I want to contribute, and I'm not going to let this define me.

When you want to run for mayor, you don't get to say, 'Oh, I'll only answer these questions.'

It's not like I'm doing anything illegal. It's not like I'm doing anything that's going to hurt anyone.

I never thought of myself as a sex addict. I thought of myself as someone who made some horrible mistakes.

I'm still a work in progress.

I was trying to be the guy who was going to take on the world.

I'm not a victim. I'm a guy who made bad choices.

I put my wife and my family through an ordeal that was completely of my own making.

I'm not a creep. I'm a guy who made a mistake.
