I saw my hometown burning that day.

Obama, he wouldn't have been in office without what happened to me and a lot of black people before me. He would never have been in that situation, no doubt in my mind. He would get there eventually, but it would have been a lot longer. So I am glad for what I went through. It opened the doors for a lot of people.

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

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 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.

I tell myself time heals. It really does.
