I mean, I said it, but I didn't say it like that. At first I thought I was crazy and didn't remember the interview correctly. Luckily, I had recorded the whole session on my computer. I was not crazy.
The interviewers questions were rephrased, and my answers where edited to make them more dramatic.
I had received many calls from journalists, and many didn't run the story at all after I said I will only answer some parts Off the record.
Most often then not, the journalists already has a story when they come to you. All they need is a quote of you saying what they already wrote.
