As a black man, you run from the cops. It's different now, but back when I was coming up, you run.

Anybody can get bigheaded once they know the seat cannot be pulled out from under them.

I tell myself time heals. It really does.

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

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.

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.

It's happening right now... it's just not on film, it's not being recorded.
