- QuotesAt my school I would say that it was more of a sort of romantic thing than an actual sexual thing, but people did have crushes on other boys. It was sort of staring at people in chapel. Interestingly enough, the people at school who did become gay were not the people who were involved in that kind of thing. What went on most of the time was people fell for boys who looked like girls and were a bit younger" - on adolescent homosexuality in his school
