You are axes, in a world of wood. And the wood remembers when it has been cut, even if the axe forgets.

I would just never want to have someone come out for the greater good who was a celebrity and then find them slipping into like Lohanville with alcohol or drugs or something else just because they couldn't cope.

We need to accept that some people are camp and some people are butch. Some people are pretty and some people are average, but we all fit.

I think in an ideal world celebrities do have a responsibility in many different areas to be role models.

I think it's too easy to just say that there is a direct and necessary conflict between black identity and gay identity. I think it's more nuanced than that simply because I think black is a color and then people layer on top of it all kinds of socio-cultural elements.

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.

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