As an athlete, I understood the value of my health insurance. I knew that in my profession, injuries were common and could happen at any time.

I'm from there. You know, when you grow up with these people and see them every day and then you look at the numbers... it was easy; it was a no-brainer. And when Sony took a look, it was a no-brainer to them, too.

When I first found out I had HIV, I had to find somebody who was living with it, who could help me understand my journey and what I was going to have to deal with day-to-day. I found out that a person named Elizabeth Frazier was living with AIDS at the time, and so I called her up, and she took a meeting with me.

I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.

It's a burden trying to keep a secret. It's hard. It probably takes more out of you trying to hold it and keep it than it does for you to really let it out.

If you want someone to be your mentor, you better be ready to listen and be humbled.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.
