To the people of Paris: Keep spreading love. You don't need to shy away from living your
lives. You should never be afraid of any terrorist because I'm telling you that the terrorists
are more afraid than you are. Nobody can imagine what you're going through right now and the
emotions going through your heart. But you don't want to live your life with hate. You
don't want to live your life in anger.
My mom pulled me over and she said, 'There was an accident today. There was an attack
on where dad works. And we don't think he's ever going to come home.' He was killed. He
didn't just die. It wasn't a car accident. He didn't have cancer. He was killed. It was
a pre-determined, pre-mediated terrorist attack and I guess you just don't understand that
when you're a kid. And I grew up and I understood and everything just froze for me. I know what
it's like to have my father killed on national television. It's no longer something that
is your own experience. You're sharing it now with hundreds of thousands of people.
And it sort of takes away from the fact that you can grieve and move on and just live your
life. My dad's favorite number was 33. I went to the gym today and I put my locker in the
only locker that was left open and it was number 33. And I thought, 'OK, wow, OK. I'm
ok today. I'm good.' I do believe that it is up to us now. Because we know what anger
and hatred looks like. And we can't add to that anymore. People look at you and they
shouldn't see tragedy. They should see hope because you mean so much to society and you're
so valuable. And for you to be happy is just what everybody want to see and it will give
everybody hope. And that's the best, I think, attack that you can have on a terrorist or
a terrorist group or anything, you know, to smile and to show your teeth
and to just love life.
