I've always taken pride to be the white guy that can talk to the black people, that can refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother.

Dog is God spelled backward.

I'm very emotional. That's why I wear shades a lot.

And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.

I have the utmost respect and aloha for black people who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.

I say to all fathers - be as good as you can be- because your sons and daughters will follow in your footsteps.

You know God gives me that inner strength that super strength to get through things.
