The album feels like a new era for me -- emotionally, lyrically, sonically. It feels fresh, it feels new. It's still me. It's still stuff that fans know and love but it's a new chapter 100 percent.

When you dance and move around it creates a different reaction from the audience - they love it.

Those shows I did with Queen were pretty surreal. I was really excited and super-flattered, but intimidated at the same time.

Being who you are is a lot easier than faking it.

I'm so happy to be in a committed relationship.

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