So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you're doing something right.

All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.

I am gay, and I'm very comfortable with it.

I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.

My mother was always supportive.

The only lifestyle I'm promoting is the lifestyle of love and friendship. The lifestyle of music, and joy, and fashion. So whoever wants to come and get part of that lifestyle, we accept anybody.

I never wore full-on eyeliner in high school, but I wanted to.
