- We are the butchers of society. Everybody wants to eat meat, but nobody wants to know how it's made! Which is exactly the same thing in law enforcement. Everybody wants safe streets, but nobody wants to know how it'll be done!
- About the Rodney King beating: "I was shocked like everybody else. And I knew that type of incident was going to happen since the suppression of the choke-hold appliance."
- Los Angeles today is not like the city I knew when I started as a police officer. Over the years I saw L.A. falling apart piece by piece due to gang violence. Right now, we don't own the streets, they do!
- It is not easy, and I think that's another part of the reality we want to get to the people who are not involved in the police business. To see how frustrating it can be. [From the Police Quest: Open Season Interview.]
- It's very important I think for people to see what a detective actually has to go through and that's and I hope of what I'm bringing this game, the reality of what detective work is all about. [From the Police Quest: Open Season Interview.]
