Vulnerability is something that I negotiate every day.

I never try to imagine the future. I kinda think it's a waste of time. I live in the now.

I can't wait to get back to New York City where at least when I walk down the streat, no one ever hesitates to tell me exactly what they think of me.

I do believe that music has an intense power to connect us together, to inspire us to become ourselves.

I try to laugh at whatever life brings.

Let's grow old and die together. Let's do it now.

I speak without reservation, from what I know and who I am. I do so with the understanding that all people should have the right to offer their voices to the chorus whether the result is harmony or dissonance. The worldsong is a colorless dirge without the differences that distinguish us, and it is that difference which should be celebrated not condemned.
