陈冠希《Talk Asia》（三）

Cecilia  Cheung, one of seven women seen in Edison  Chen's explicit photographs, nearly a  year off, two images of the actress  appeared on the internet. she did this  interview in Hong Kong. 
one year ago, just  after the incident, he held a press  conference and said he'd do everything  he could to protect the women. "he did  nothing. I can only describe him in a few words, a  hypocrite, a fraud", the women in Chen's  photographs were shamed. in some cases their relationships and their careers  left in tatters. in Asia where attitudes  about sex and nudity are more  conservative than in many Western  countries. the impact was explosive. in  the United States, female stars involved  in sex scandals can see their careers,  recover. in Hong Kong, previously squeaky  clean images tarnished. singer gillian  chong apologized to fans during the  scandal. she's now attempting a return to  the limelight. "I know I have to face the  problem and also ..." 
----Cecilia  Cheung accused you of being a hypocrite,  and fraud. she said that you turned your  phone off, and that you ignored her, while  this whole thing was going on. what would  you say to her now if you had the chance?  
----I was, you know, I don't really want to  have a back and forth with her, which is  why I didn't really comment on, on what  she had said before. I hope that she can  understand that, you know, I really do feel sorry,  I really am sorry to her, sorry to everyone  involved, but you know that at a certain  time, in a certain point, in, in everyone's  life that you get caught up in things.  and I was just caught up in the whole  mix, I was at the center of the storm.  what she wants to say, I'll let her say  it, because in a certain sense,   some of the responsibilities in my  hands, and maybe in her world, I'm the  only one who was wrong, 
----when was the last  time that you spoke to any of them? 
----I  can't recall. not not really 
----the scandal?  
----definitely, before the scandal, 
----you  haven't spoken to any of them since... 
----no,no...  
----because you couldn't find them, or  because you didn't want to? 
----oh, you know,  initially was because I couldn't find  them, secondly was, because I don't really,  I didn't really know how to approach, and  really have what to say. to be honest  with you. I would like to, I would have  liked to call them, and say sorry. but at  the same time, you know, I,I,I, I hope that,  when the trial was over, and they would  actually know that, I would, I didn't do  this on purpose.  so I waited for that trial to end for,  forever. it was like a calendar mark, that  had no day, you know, and, you know, if I  can see them, I don't want to. I don't, I  don't like speaking on the phone. I feel  it loses a lot of the integrity and of  the emotion, and I think they like, it's  like, some people say, you know, that we  break up over the phone. it's one of the  worst things, right? and I feel like, if I  apologized over the phone, it might not  seem sincere, and I might not seem real.  
----careers are in shreds, and engagements  being broken. some would save, and lives  have been ruined, if any of the women  were to come to you and say, "listen, I  want to talk about this, you know, I want  to, just you know, get this all straight."  would you be open to that? 
----definitely. if  we're going to sit down as two adults  and really suss it out. I'm open, I'm open  to it but judging from from the way that  they've they've done their interviews I  don't think that you know they have  every right to be angry.  I don't want this to come across, as I'm  saying, something about them but I don't  think that they're... they can sit down and  have a  tractional conversation with me, quite yet. 
----do you think this time in your life  will always stay with you ----even if I  didn't want it would. I've tried to  move on with my life, and I think that,  you know, it's kind of like forgive and  not forget. but I'd sake, I want to forget  too, because I've had did not. I've had to  forgive myself, I mean, you know, the  person I was angry at most was myself,  you know, I was most unhappy with myself.  I had to learn to deal with myself, I had  to go home and look at myself in the  mirror, and see what kind of man I am,  and um, you know, I come to learn to turn  to come to terms with myself. I feel more  comfortable as the Edison. now then I was  the Edison before, and I don't know how,  how that makes people feel, but you know,  I'm just being real, and I'm just being  honest. 
----Edison, it really can't have  been easy for you to talk so openly  about this, so I do thank you very much  indeed for sitting down with us today.  
----thank you
