“Life isn´t about what happens to us. It´s about how we perceive what happens to us.”

“We should be having discussions about gay identity, helping other athletes to come out, being a positive force. Instead we’re getting dragged down into questions of who fucks whom, and what does your family think, and is everything that happens to you in your entire life now because you came out?”

“Life isn’t about what happens to us; life is about how we respond to what happens to us.”

“Be concerned with how you live than with how long”

“It's your life. What are you going to do about it?”

“...we're always acting, one way or another. It's just that for most of us, it's tiring. At the end of the day, we want to go home and relax with someone who doesn't need us to be anyone other than who we are.”

“Reading surrounds us, labels us, defines us.”
