“That's what Tupac and I got from my dad - the rebellion and the need to fight back and be recognized for being different.”

“We must recognize that anger only agitates and incites. It cannot squelch or satisfy the hunger for justice.”

“I think what it was is that Tupac was extremely passionate, very honest and raw in his approach to communicating. He understood communicating. And I think he just did it from a deep place within.”

“My dad died of a heart attack when I was 15. I was bullied mercilessly in middle school. I went through a divorce - those not-so-great things are all a part of me, and they give me a place to go when I cover those stories on the news. I'm more empathetic, more relatable because of them.”

“I don't think my dad ever raised his voice to my mother or to me, ever.”

“I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.”
