I feel dance and pop music genres are extremely female and extremely gay. When it comes to art and pop culture, queers are f - king weirdos. We don't have gender rules that tell us what we can and can't be. We just make it up as we go along. We have full creative license to be whatever we want to be.

I work really well under pressure but I really hate doing things on a timeframe.

When I was a kid Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell were mere blips on the gaydar; and they were both still in the closet.

Life is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.

I'm a great believer in karma and the vengeance that it serves up to those who are deliberately mean is generally enough for me.

Reclaiming the word fat was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth, because the truth is that I am fat, and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat, I agree, whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.

I have a very good relationship with myself. My favourite quote is, "What you think about me is none of my business."
