We wouldn't be as far along as a country if we didn't take on some of Martin Luther King's ways that he instilled in us.

Waking up sober is a good day. I love being able to wake up and do positive things, to go to the gym.

I realize I will always be the poster child for police brutality, but I can try to use that as a positive force for healing and restraint.

What I've learned to do is arrest my addiction - arrest it myself, so I don't get arrested.

It's not painful to relive it. I'm comfortable with my position in American history.

When I leave here, when my final day on this earth is up, I want to leave in peace. I want to have peace in my heart.

People look at me like I should have been like Malcolm X or Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks. I should have seen life like that and stay out of trouble, and don't do this and don't do that. But it's hard to live up to some people's expectations.
