Brown said that he constantly thinks, "Why did it happen? What was I thinking?" He said that he thinks about how to get past it, learn from his mistakes, turn the situation into a positive and help others learn.

He said that he believes public perception about him now is "confused" with his fans still loving him and other people not supporting him, he admits that he made a "big mistake" and that he's "still learning from it".

He said that he is certain that it will never happen again, and that the attack was triggered by anger. Brown said that he enjoys attending his court ordered domestic violence classes and he is able to learn about anger and how to control it. He said the classes teach him to think before doing something.

Brown said that not being able to communicate with Rihanna has made him focus more on other things in life, such as his music career, his fans and what he needs to do to change - to get straight.

He said that he has learned "more of who I am" "who I am as a man", and "who I am going to be".

He's a jerk! He'll do it again, no doubt! In the 20/20 interview last night she even said he was feeling sorry for himself and realizing the seriousness of his actions! He's a younger version of Ike Turner!

If they hadn't caught him....he would still be doing this! The only reason he is doing this interview is to convince people to buy his album.
