Bowie's been a huge influence on me. I remember early on, my dad pulling out the 'Diamond Dogs' album, and the cover alone just grabbed my attention. I think I was probably around 12.

I'm proud of my sexuality.

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn't have, or what I still wanted.

I don't like to look typical.

My first album was completed in three months.

Fantasy is so much hotter than reality most of the time.

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