When asked why the court event was so long while most other court proceedings were not, in an interview on May 3, 2013, Entertainment Tonight Sheindlin replied:
I think people feel comfortable knowing my perspective - because I think if you try as a television judge/personality to do this kind of work and keep your perspective, your personal perspective, secret, you are dishonest. And I think that viewers who see America can know when someone is dishonest - when someone puffs on their feet and tells them that it's raining. I think part of the reason I was chosen to do this work is because I did not filter myself properly. But I have never been a good filter even when I was sitting on a bench in New York. Now sometimes it makes you a little hot water; here they seem to like it. Fortunately for me, I do not have to act. This is it. And if you bother me, or if you lie to me, or if I feel as if you are trying to obscure the truth, you will get my bad side. And that is the side you do not want.
