00:00You forgive yourself for a lot of stuff that you did, yeah, and I think I had to go to
00:10the ends of the earth and hit bottom to really find out who I was.
00:22I never knew one ounce of Hawaiian before I even came to jail.
00:26I learned everything in jail.
00:31I always took from people.
00:32That's how I knew how to get what I wanted in life.
00:37Why couldn't I have learned my culture while I was outside?
00:40I think I went on a 20-year run.
00:43I just went crazy, getting out of jail, doing drugs, picking up charges, and then finally

01:09We gotta look forward.
01:10I've been locked up 15 years.

01:31I'm trying not to make the same mistakes again.
