English term or phrase: I\'m biased

I'm biased. Earlier this year my mom had a stroke. It damaged the visual cortex of her brain, and her vision was impaired to the point that she'll probably never drive again. This reduced her from a fully-functional, independent human being with a career and a buzzing social life into someone who is homebound, disabled, and powerless.

When discussing self-driving cars, people tend to ask a lot of superficial questions: how much will these cars cost? Is this supposed to replace my car at home? Is this supposed to replace taxis or Uber? What if I need to use a drive-thru?

i\'m biased Tenho algum viés. / Sou suspeito/a.

Explanation:
Depending on the tone of the overall piece. "Suspeito/a" is colloquial, while "viés" is pretty formal language.

i\\\'m biased Eu não sou imparcial/Minha opinião é tendenciosa

Explanation:
"I'm biased" significa que você não consegue ser imparcial pois está envolvido com a situação de alguma forma ou visa algum interesse próprio.

Acredito que a tradução nesse caso terá que ser uma paráfrase do que o narrador quer dizer, usando uma outra frase no lugar.

Talvez se poderia dizer "Eu tenho que concordar/discordar". Dependerá do contexto geral.

i\'m biased Sou suspeito(a) para falar.

Explanation:
O contexto é determinante na escolha dessa opção, que é praticamente uma expressão popular em português-BR, por ser a forma mais usual no dia a dia. Atenção para definir o gênero (masc./fem.) como sendo o mesmo de quem diz a frase.
