There's one overriding issue, namely, that we live in a police state so long as the police get to police themselves. And that is why cops go unindicted.

I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

Get your hustle on... Hard work is easy, working out is hard.

That happens to me everyday. I watch my thoughts, not only on the mat, but all through the day.

We want the government to be controlled by all the people, not by the richest 1%. That's always been the first demand. That's a simple enough message, and I think it's pretty clear now, even though much of the media has been disingenuous in its coverage. We don't want the heads of the biggest industries to make all the decisions, because they're not for the people. They're for the corporations. Power to the people!

I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.

You know, I love all kinds of activism. I certainly think blacks deserve to have something whether it is affirmative action or an opportunity that should be opened up to them. But at the same time I believe that people of color are not the only poor people in America and all over the world.
