Sexuality and gender don't change anyone's performance on the court.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

Be positive and work hard. I think it's possible to overcome anything, if you're willing to work at it.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.

Our songs travel the earth. We sing to one another. Not a single note is ever lost and no song is original. They all come from the same place and go back to a time when only the stones howled.

A guy can tell a girl he's in love with her until he's blue in the face. Words don't mean anything to a woman when her head's full of doubt. You have to show her.

It takes me six months to do a story. I think it out and then write it sentence by sentence - no first draft. I can't write five words but that I change seven.
