When you're black, you have to deal with so much crap in your life from other black people. It's a dirty, dark secret; I'm glad it's coming out.

It bothers me when I hear these reporters and jocks get on TV and say: 'Oh, no guy can come out in a team sport. These guys would go crazy.' First of all, quit telling me what I think. I'd rather have a gay guy who can play than a straight guy who can't play.

I'm not paid to be a role model, parents should be role models.

I think the biggest problem is parents are so concerned with being friends with their kids. You're not their friend. You're their parent.

I know a lot of people did a lot of heavy lifting to make me successful and I do everything in my power not to screw it up.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we're never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.
