I haven't bought any leather articles for a very long time. My ideal is to be able to avoid all animal products, in food as well as clothing.

Just go out there and do what you've got to do.

The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.

Sport doesn't know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball.

My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place!

You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it.

Just by being out you're doing your part. It's like recycling. You're doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you're doing your part for the gay movement if you're out.
