Leisure, the highest happiness on earth, is seldom enjoyed with perfect satisfaction, except in solitude.

Only in a true life or death scenario can you have mental clearness to know that you cannot feel guilty for surviving.

I deal with the hatred by loving my supporters more.

As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life,

Conceit and confidence are both of them cheats; the first always imposes on itself, the second frequently deceives others too.

Nobody notices when things go right.

I'm not a racist, and I'm not a murderer.

I think that people assumed I was white because of my last name. My father is Caucasian, my mother is Hispanic. But English was my second language, believe it or not.

Honestly, I want to live a calm life without being in the press. I want to be like any other American citizen who gets a speeding ticket or has an argument with his spouse... and doesn't have the whole world know.

I'd like to professionally... continue my education and hopefully become an attorney. I think that's the best way to stop the miscarriage of justice that happened to me from happening to somebody else. I don't think it should ever happen to anyone ever again - not one person.
