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

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.

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.

Nowadays in pop, there's not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high - it's not as common as it once was.

I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.

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

I definitely have my opinions that I'm very vocal about and I'm not afraid to put them out there.
