Can anyone point me to the text or video of the interview in which Oaks gives his recent "no apologies" statement?

Thanks!

Fellow apostle Dallin H. Oaks also praised the church's website and efforts on behalf of gay members.

But Oaks, a former Utah Supreme Court justice, wasn't sure apologizing for past language on homosexuality would be advisable.

"I know that the history of the church is not to seek apologies or to give them," Oaks said in an interview. "We sometimes look back on issues and say, 'Maybe that was counterproductive for what we wish to achieve,' but we look forward and not backward."

The church doesn't "seek apologies," he said, "and we don't give them."
