Yeah, you gotta be confident. I think it helps players.

I was an 'SC guy growing up. I remember my high school coach asking everybody what college and he was shocked when I said I wanted to go to USC. It wasn't too far from us. There was something about 'SC. Everybody wanted to go to UCLA, but I was always an 'SC guy.

As a kid, you always wanted your own shoe. To see it happen, it's like a dream come true.

I influenced the NBA a little bit.

You gotta have a Swaggy in 'Space Jam.' If you want to sell tickets, you got to have me. I can give them swag once they get their powers taken. They can come to me and I can be a sorcerer of Swag. I can hand it out to them and give them hope.

I'm not trying to conform. I'm gonna be a serious guy but still have fun at the same time.

When I go in and talk to students about being a Member of Parliament, I say to them it took me 21 years from joining the Conservative Party as a 16-year-old to being elected as a Member of Parliament for the first time in Loughborough. It's a long journey, but the rewards when you get there, the feeling of accomplishment is huge.

The reason I love my job as education secretary is that it's all about the future. Everything I and my department do is about investing in the next generation, helping them to build on our generation's success, learn from our mistakes and giving them the tools to build a more successful and prosperous country.

We have outstanding schools, world-class teaching and inspirational leadership across the country.

I don't subscribe to this view that the far-right is somehow in control of the Conservative party from top to toe.
