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.

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

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

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

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

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.
