People saying I want to come here, who doesn't want to play for their hometown? That's a dream come true, if you're a kid growing up on the outskirts of L.A., to be the man in your city.

Oklahoma, y'all truly made a big impact on me.

I have a goal to be the best player every time I touch that floor. Just be the best me.

The only thing I wanted out of Indiana was a chance to win my whole career there.

When I came out, it wasn't a big formal conversation like in the movies. I just started living as my true and authentic self and opened up my life to my parents - sharing who I was, and bringing a girlfriend when I came home for a visit. To my great surprise, my parents accepted me for who I was and have supported me since.

I don't like directing that much to want a career as a director for hire. I like to have as much creative control as possible.

I remember loving 'Braveheart,' and I still do! It was one of those films my family had on video and we watched over and over again.

When I first met my husband, he had a very good job - company car, pension plan, grudging respect from his staff - the lot. I, on the other hand, was badly paid and devoid of ambition. Then I had a couple of books published and confounded all expectations by starting to earn more than he did.
