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

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

I saw my hometown burning that day.

I had to learn to forgive. I couldn't sleep at night. I got ulcers. I had to let go, to let God deal with it. No one wants to be mad in their own house. I didn't want to be angry my whole life. It takes so much energy out of you to be mean.

We could all get along if we just hang out at iSurfing.

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.

For a long time, sure, I was letting the pressure of being Rodney King get to me. It ain't easy. Even now, I walk into a place wondering, 'What people are thinking? Do they know who I am? What do they think about what happened? Do they blame me for the all those people who died?'
