I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'
I think of myself as a young prince from a long line of royalty.
We're conditioned in this country to believe that if there's a problem, the black man is usually the culprit.
I think that all of us, as Americans, are due due process and have a right to a fair trial, and have a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I think that is the American way and it's the foundation upon which this country was built.
I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.
I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud to be an African American in America. I've had some interesting experiences: some great, some not so great, but I love it here.
