Los Angeles can be a really sad city.

Carving out an identity for yourself is important so I'm trying to do that as well.

I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock 'n' roll spirit, swagger to the game.

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

A lot of my male vocal influences are British - people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.

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

I'm proud of my sexuality.
