It's ironic that he was killed by people he admired a lot, people he wanted to know about.

I have come to terms, and I have forgiven the murderers. I don't think it's good to have so much anger in me because I have a son to raise, and I don't want for him to see anger in me.

We try to celebrate his life and what he did and not focus on the price he paid.

We want people to know that we are here, accessible to everyone, loving and celebrating Oakland.

That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas, and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.

I don't even like firing people. I don't think I've ever said, 'You're fired' to anybody.
