I think music is the most phenomenal platform for intellectual thought.

I think my daughters have a pretty healthy self-awareness but I can't speak on their behalf.

I was never much of a one to win prizes... and certainly never placed too much value on their acquisition.

You can live with almost any condition if you're living within a community of people who can share a common understanding.

I would say that although my music may be or may have been part of the cultural background fabric of the gay community, I consider myself an outsider who belongs everywhere and nowhere... Being a human being is what truly counts. That's where you'll find me.

I played with the image, because I think image is temporary. It's a projection. It's illusory.

More than anything, I think everything about appearance is illusory. People see you, and they think they understand what you're projecting, but actually, they have their own interpretation of it, or they put a label on you.
