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?'

I'm a religious person. I remember my mom told me: 'Vengeance belongs to God. It's up to him to wreak vengeance.' It's hard for me to get to that point, but that's the work of God.

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 sometimes feel like I'm caught in a vise. Some people feel like I'm some kind of hero. Others hate me.

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.

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.
