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.

I know and value what it means to wake up and be alive and to share my story. I'm so blessed to be here and to be able to talk about it.

I don't see how you can grow as a world without being able to get along with people. So many people is hating out there and it's not making a difference.

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.

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.

Nice guys just don't finish first in the music industry.
