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'm a nerd. I like to sit in the library. I don't like to sweat.

There are some people the gestation period is like an elephant's and it's just years and years before they're ready.

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.

There was certainly nothing really sexual about my youth growing up, simply because the fact remains if you're the fat kid in a school and I was the only fat black kid in the school - in fact, I was the only black kid in the school - but if you are kind of ostracized on many different levels in your school the last thing you're worried about is sex.

I think there is unnecessary conflict right now between the vehemently religious and the LGBT community. The extremes of religion I think and the LGBT community have an issue and because a lot of black families in America are more religious, I think that is where the conflict comes into play.

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