My goal is to end mass incarceration and change the laws to stop locking up low-level, nonviolent drug charges. Stop charging drug addicts as criminals.

CHILDHOOD IS THAT STATE WHICH ENDS THE MOMENT A PUDDLE IS FIRST VIEWED AS AN OBSTACLE INSTEAD OF AN OPPORTUNITY

I use my job to engage empathy and compassion for people society might stereotype or ostricise.

Our criminal justice system has swallowed up too many people I love.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge your self in.

You know, my childhood was pretty colorful; I like to use the word turbulent.

Having been through the muck and mire, I've had my own brush with bad choices.

You know, Tupac is very near and dear to my heart. He started my career as an actor.

When you keep a strong image of what you want in your mind, and possess the conviction that it is yours by right, you send out powerful vibrations to the farthest reaches of the universe.

I love my culture, I'm very proud to be Kurd.

I can tell you this: If I'm ever in a position to call the shots, I'm not going to rush to send somebody else's kids into a war.

The real index of civilization is when people are kinder than they need to be.

Don't let your imagination be crushed by life as a whole.

A man said to me, "You talk to your dead guru?" And I said, "Yeah." He said, "That's in your imagination." And I said, "Yeah!" Because my guru is in my imagination anywhere. Anywhere.

I would like to ban people being allowed to text while in a crosswalk.

Listen deeper than the music before you put it in the box.
