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.

I suppose I knew I was gay at age 11 or so.

My particular interest area is working in issues of emotional literacy. What I see of the way that we educate boys and more than that, the way we socialize boys within their families and then in schools to me is tantamount to just removing any element of emotional intelligence from them.

In my experience, it's only people who don't play sport at a professional level who think that there is anything remotely erotic about a locker room.

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

I thought kissing was good with girls, but I always thought you know it probably could be better, so there was nothing really.

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.
