It's all about respect. I'm not going to treat a woman like a piece of meat.
It's very limiting to us as a species, the concept of better-than/less-than. It just seems to be at its end. I'm like, this all fades to black, and it's gone. It's dust. Choose carefully what you obsess about.
It makes a big difference when men respect women. There are a lot of men who don't, so that's the main quality that would make a good man a great man.
The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment.
I've been fortunate that the people I hang out with all respect women and men, so there's hasn't been a scenario where I've had to step in and say, 'Hey, this isn't cool.'
I've never had any problem with criticism. I've given a lot, and I've copped a lot. But I believe I've got a role to play by insisting that women be judged by their contribution - not somebody's view of what they should be about.
You can ask my wife - there has always been mutual respect between us, and I believe women should be respected for what they are; at no point should they feel the need to be like men.
I treat all women with the utmost respect both professionally and personally and would never do anything to disrespect them.
