In the interview with GMA’s Linsey Davis, Cosby said he’s not sure if people will come to him with questions about whether the allegations are true, but he encouraged people to focus on his message, not the person delivering it.

“I am prepared to tell this young person about life…I think that many of them say, ‘Well you’re a hypocrite,” he said of his critics. “My point is, ‘OK, listen to me carefully, I’m telling you where the road is out. I’m telling you where as you’re driving you’re going to go into water and it looks like it may only be three inches but you and your car are going to go here. Now, you want to go here or you want to be concerned about who’s giving you the message?'”
