I was born in Detroit, in an all black neighborhood.

I think the more diversity that one has in his life, the happier he can be, as long as he is able to do whatever he chooses to do at that given time well.

Everybody certainly has the right to defend themselves. That's not to say that they should defy common sense by avoiding or diffusing confrontation. And that's very, very important.

One must first learn to heal people to be great. To hurt people is easy.

Most of the kids that I meet in the street are serious hardened criminals that I meet in the street, never had a mother and a father to love them, to protect them, to teach them right from wrong and lead them out of crime and gangs and stuff like that.

I love getting out on the streets and helping people.

Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings.
