It's kind of like an out of body experience, watching my words being spoken by the actors, watching the portrayal of me by John David Washington.

It was extremely dangerous to be a black man in the KKK. If I'd been exposed, it could have all gone horribly wrong. The Klansmen were armed, and there was always a peril.

What I am is what you get. My wife will tell me all the time, 'You probably shouldn't say that.' But the fact of the matter is, when you get under my dander, I have to express myself.

My mother never liked that I worked undercover. She always worried.

The black community has always complained about abuse from cops. It's nothing new. But now, more people are seeing visual examples of what they've been complaining about. That's one thing that has changed over time.

I laugh all the time about our investigation, especially about making a fool of David Duke, who likes to think I don't have the intelligence of an ape because he thinks I'm genetically inferior.

I'm just a kid from El Paso, Texas.

I would be very honored to meet President Obama.

I joined the police force with one motivation in mind: to become a high school PE teacher. After a year of working, I realized that a) I was making twice as much money as I would in the teaching profession, and b) I was having too much fun. I stuck it out for 32 years and no regrets.

When you're undercover you try to stay as true to your identity as you are. You know who you are, and you know how you normally function. If you try to put on a pretense, such as assuming a fake voice, you have to put on that fake voice all of the time. And you can't afford to slip out of it. It's too dangerous.

How I conned the Grand Wizard, David Duke, and his coterie of followers... It has defined me in ways I never could have imagined.

I never thought America would be stupid enough to put this idiot in the White House. Up until a half hour before they declared Trump the winner, I still thought that it wouldn't happen. I never thought that we, as a nation, had fallen so much that we would be foolish enough to do that.

I felt that if the public found out that a black man made a fool of David Duke, his attempts at a political career would have fallen by wayside.

We had a cop or two that were questionable, and probably they shouldn't have been on the job, but they were. You have that: a police department reflects the community that it serves, and it's going to have a bad apple or two, but when those bad apples are discovered, they need to be discarded as quickly as possible so the whole bureau doesn't rot.

I didn't take a lot of crap from people, and I didn't follow the conventional rules of behavior that we're supposed to follow - because if I had, I never would have accomplished what I did.

When you hear Donald Trump say 'America First,' that was a Klan slogan from the early 1900s. Trump simply resurrected it. It's a clear example of his racist attitude.

Skinheads and Neo-Nazis are commonly known to openly attack people who get in their way or don't agree with them and their agenda.

Donald Trump is the physical embodiment of what David Duke wanted to achieve and failed.

The Klan was one of the most violent terrorist groups that has ever existed in the United States.

People in Hollywood will say things one minute and change it the next.

Personally, I never had any negative encounters with the law growing up.

Let's face it. Nobody predicted Trump. He's a fairytale nightmare that none of us could possibly have imagined. Shame on those 63 million who - especially those Obama voters who crossed over and voted, shame on them for putting this idiot in the White House.

I went to school with a lot of kids whose fathers and mothers were part of the El Paso black history.

In many respects, David Duke was the playbook. He established the playbook by which Donald Trump ran and ultimately became - I won't even use the term - let's just say he became the occupant of the White House.

When people come up to me and ask for my autograph and everything... I find it funny that people want my autograph.
