"Over the past few years, I´ve been having misunderstandings on who my parents really were. They were not crazy. They were not insane. They were just my parents, and they were killed in front of me when I was twelve. It took me a while to understand that, but I finally could embrace what happened, what I saw. And I am so proud of my parents. I am not Samuel X. My name is Samuel Abrams."
