“There is always the fear of unknown – racism comes from people when they don’t know something, they are strangers to the other side.”

I regret starting drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and joining Facebook.

The episode of The Fresh Prince in Bel-Air when Will Smith’s father disses him. That’s sadder than when Mufasa died.

A year later, I had it on all my fingers. My hands looked like the hands of an alligator. So I fist bumped people instead of shaking hands for a few years.

When I was young, I had a big problem with warts. It started with one on the side of my little finger.

The best side drew (after a hard fought 1-1 draw)

Basically I started playing double handed on both my forehand and backhand side because my first racket was very heavy.
