I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.

At least I can say that I'm honest.

All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.

Wait a minute, I'm a fan of yours; you can't be a fan of mine!

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

I'm proud of my sexuality.

I think the responsibility of pop stars is to liberate the masses. In that everyone can be whatever they wanna be. You can march to your own beat. It's so hard sometimes in our country because conformity is the way things are pushed.
