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. ↗

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. ↗

When I leave here, when my final day on this earth is up, I want to leave in peace. I want to have peace in my heart. ↗
