I'm not sure why he will explain later, my guess was he needed to think of more lies to tell.
in light of the current lies/avoiding responsibility/blaming the victim, and the PLE psych report (not respecting females):
A Current Affair/2005:
One day I will explain exactly what happened but right now I don't feel ready to do that.
No thanks, I don't really want to give any comment. (followed by 30+ minute interview)
... if Natalee is really missing and if something bad really happened to Natalee ...
I don't like the way people are boycotting Aruba; that so many people are suffering because one person is missing.
She was very nice.
I didn't have any feelings toward her because I just met her that night.
I know me and my friends lied and I'm really sorry for that.
I hope she's fine.
I lied because I was scared and that's the truth because I didn't want to admit leaving her alone at the beach.
And that's the truth.
First of all, she was eighteen and I was seventeen.
I don't respect her (Beth Twitty) going on TV and boycotting Aruba.
I told the truth and I know she knows the truth because I know she read most of the statements in the case.
Look what she is doing to the island.
I am not hiding anything.
My worst nightmare is if something bad happened to Natalee.
It makes no sense to boycott an island that depends on tourism.
I don't blame them for pointing fingers at me. (grins)
All the evidence shows nothing bad happened.
I don't want to be talking right now. (laughs)
I don't have one thing to say to Beth.
I was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, maybe with the wrong people.
First of all it is none of your business what happened on the beach (laughs), that's part of the investigation.
Yes, I was seeing someone. Yes, I cheated on this other person with her.
It was her. It was Natalee who asked me to go out with her. It was her that asked me to go to the club. It was her who was yelling at me to dance with her. It was her that wanted to come with us.
I didn't even know who Natalee Holloway was when her parents showed up at my door the next day with her picture.
I've never touched a girl in an aggressive way in my life. (laughs)
It was totally her choice to stay in the car.
(scratches nose) I don't know what happened.
I was the last guy who admitted to being with her. (laughs)
I didn't do anything against the law.
One day I will explain exactly what happened but right now I don't feel ready to do that.
People can think what they want. (smiles)
I am an . What did I do? There is nothing I can do about it now. If I had that moment back, I would make sure she got back to the hotel safely.
I didn't think anything really bad happened to her.
Lying is not a crime; even if it interferes with a police investigation, it is still not a crime.
I would love someone to come and tell me I did worse because I had never touched a girl in an aggressive way in my life. (laughs)
[did you have sex w/ NH?] First of all (smiles) that is none of your business, it is absolutely none of your business.
I really don't care what people think of me.
I don't want people to think I had no feelings.
I don't respect the mother.
It doesn't make sense for her to make other people suffer.

w/ GvS in Asia/2008 re alleged phone conversation between JvdS and Pvd being offered for sale:
van Susteren: What we agreed on is that I would license the chip. The problem is the chip came with issues with it. And so now I am in the position where I've got to try to tell my company that this is a possibility that this happened. And they're going to say, well, if he won't even corroborate, then this is all just basically (expletive deleted).
And I don't know, what do I tell them?
van der Sloot: I guess you can tell them whatever you want, but I'm not going to go say all that.
van Susteren: I want the truth only.
van der Sloot: I understand.
van Susteren: Why won't you tell us the truth?
van der Sloot: BECAUSE THE TRUTH HURTS.
van Susteren: I understand that. I mean, that I get. OK? Sit down a second. Sit down.
van der Sloot: (inaudible). Maybe we can take a break now. Let's take a break for a second.
van Susteren: All right, but you know what, Joran, I understand the truth hurts.
van der Sloot: NO, YOU DON'T.
van Susteren: I understand that. I actually do.
