I just wanted to fit in, so probably early on I knew, but it was... social life was such a distant part of my existence when I was in school that I didn't even think about it too much.

I always think coming out is something that you do for people who really deserve it. It should be.

You can't be a part-time man of principle.

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

I was a man who played basketball and after I played basketball and before I played basketball I was going to be a psychologist, whereas most people who play their occupation is their definition - and then when they stop doing who they are, they become nothing.

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