Early on I wondered why he wouldn't just be properly contrite say "I lied" and get this over with. From his point of view it's better for him if he doesn't do this. Like a politician, who's been caught doing something wrong, if he can weather the storm long enough people forget what he's done. If he comes clean then he loses the last vestiges of his support. I don't think it's a matter of coming to terms with what he's done I think it's a matter of selfishness. He sought fame and money, received both and he wants more.
