You know, growing up, I lived in a neighborhood in Long Island where there was basically one black family. And I remember hearing all the parents and the kids in the neighborhood say racist things about this family.

Everything was coming my way, but I was going down. I was painfully empty.

I have no problem with women in the military, if that's what they want to do.

I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience.

I have grown up being a father. When my first son was born I was 17. I was a child bringing up a child. I was not capable of understanding what a dad was meant to be.

I had time with my family, which was great, but I am a cricketer, and once that was taken away from me, it was as though part of me wasn't there.

Of course, when you're a parent, that's your paramount concern, for your children, and there were some very credible and frightening threats, and the agency declined to provide any security, and it felt like a betrayal all over again. It was really painful.

Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact the family brings up baby by being brought up by him.
