Female performers have been doing this for years - pushing the envelope about sexuality - and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

The way I look at it is everybody should have the right to get married, if they so choose

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.

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.

We don't have a lot of men on stage doing flamboyant or theatrical. We have a lot of female pop stars doing it, but where are the guys? Where's the classic pop-rock showman?

I just talk a lot, that's the problem.

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.
