A supermodel needed to be able to be on 'Sports Illustrated ' to be able to walk runways to be able to do beauty ads to be on covers. And the girls now can no longer be on covers and be in the ads because your actresses have taken over all the jobs. I don't know what happened but we want our jobs back.

I think exercise tests us in so many ways our skills our hearts our ability to bounce back after setbacks. This is the inner beauty of sports and competition and it can serve us all well as adult athletes.

If architecture is as is sometimes said music set in concrete then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports.

I was very fortunate to play sports. All the anger in me went out. I had to do what I had to do. If you stay angry all the time then you really don't have a good life.

Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.

As a kid who wasn't into sports at school I felt almost alienated at times whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.

I got amazing training both with Theatre Sports... back in Edmonton Alberta - I can't give those people enough credit - and the daytime drama I did. Incredible training both of them.

The things that people do now in sports you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.

We've just got to be careful - with all sports let alone cricket - I think there's so much emphasis on doing the right thing all the time but I think the public want to be entertained when they come to watch sport.
