In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!

The Furthest Thing From My Mind
Several years ago,
If I had witnessed a guy...
With hair longer than my sister's.
And he wore earrings and fingernail polish...
The furthest thing from my mind would be,
That he just might play professional sports.
Maybe even be a wrestler.
And a loving doting father!
THAT would not be on my mind.
If I saw a beautiful woman in those years gone,
I would not think of her as a boxer.
Or a basketball player or a race track driver.
THAT would not be on my mind either.
And today,
Those images once portrayed...
As the ideal one to idolize?
Are not in these times realized.
That's why I am quite surprised,
As to why one would question another's sexuality!
And THAT seems to be on everyone's mind.

Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of LA in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers.
And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.
