I'd probably have to leave home in order to become a basketball player of any note.

I've been captivated by the idea of being on a basketball court and being surrounded by people who made me look a little bit less like a freak.

Knowing yourself, knowing where you want to get, combining those things gives you the pragmatic steps.

I grew up thinking the best job in the world would be a Jedi and being a psychologist is the closest thing I could get, so I wanted to be a Jedi and I don't want to be a Sith, so that is what keeps me on the straight and narrow.

In the NBA you need a little bit more than that when Jordan is front of you. You need a little bit more than that when it is Barkley or Karl Malone or Shaq or whoever else. You need a lot more than that frankly if you're the English kid who can't jump.

I don't need to think that I'm being loomed over my shoulder in order to behave in a way that's moral.

In a country like America, there are places, many states here still where coming out means you lose your job, where coming out means division, where it means potentially abuse.
