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.

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.

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 think that we ill-prepare athletes from the very beginning. From the moment they pick up a ball or kick or whatever it is they're doing. We ill-prepare them. Especially with the major sports. What you see is this cycle of entitlement that gets thrown their way, so the kid who is in junior high and hasn't finished his test, but still gets to play because he is an athlete, fails the test and still gets to play because they're an athlete, gets to get away with not doing chores at home because they've got practice.

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