Well, unless you're Wayne Gretzky or Michael Jordan, you need the full support of your team.

One of my dogs is in the movie Beethoven's 2nd.

I just did not discuss my personal life, my sexuality with the media. That was my policy.

There's a better way to speak out against President Putin and call out his bigotry for exactly what it is: speaking up for equal rights and educating people around the world about the persistence of homophobia. Rather than boycott, I, along with several amazing organizations including Athlete Ally and All Out, plan to use the Sochi Games as a teachable moment for the world.

It's great to be out and proud.

I am a firm believer that you don't achieve greatness on your own. There is always someone there to lend a hand

People who were close to me - family and friends - they knew about my sexuality.
