One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you not accepting yourself.

The question people ask me all the time is, 'How was it playing a gay character? How was it pretending to love a man?' And I don't mean to be abrasive, but that's just the stupidest question in the world to me. To assume there is a difference is ignorance. You're born a certain way. I was born loving women. I could have been born loving men.

When he was around, man, you knew he was there. That was tough . . . I miss him a lot.

Baseball life is a tough life on the family.

If your teacher, parents or boss is making your Life tough, that’s only because they want you to be tough!

I'm a gay man who came out when I was 10 years old, and there's nothing in my life that I'm prouder of.
