Regret looms over Dennis Rodman as he confronts the North Korean Crisis with an emotional, less than idealistic, attitude than before in an interview with ESPN.
He explained to ESPN's Mark Schwarz the original motive to go to North Korea was to "do great things in life."
He continued his encore of asking for others to understand him and his motive for going.
"It just sucks -- and people ... I just wish they understood the whole purpose of why I went to North Korea," Rodman said of his critics. "I wish they did."

When asked about his most recent visit with Schwarz measuring the seriousness of the situation of N. Korea with human rights violations, nuclear bomb testing, and more. Dennis offers further insight into his thought process "At least someone tried," he comments.
"So that's how I look at it. You know, I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to be this, I don't want to be that. I just wanted to be, just do happy things and do great things in life. That's all I wanted to. That's it."
"If you don't ever want me to go back there again, I won't go back," he said. "If I put anyone in danger, I apologize. I apologize to them on TV, having drinks and stuff like that, and saying stuff that some people thought was way out of line."
Later on when asked about the atrocities of Kim Jung Un committed, he replies he never knew he did anything of that sort and when asked no one told him.
