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.

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?

People want to talk about whether I have rock cred, whether I'm selling out, the theatricality, the gay stuff... Chill out! And just enjoy yourself.

I wanted to look different because I felt different

I started to realize I wasn't like every other boy.
