I'm not responsible enough to have a dog - or a child.

Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.

I think these days, as an artist, you have to be slightly entrepreneurial. ...Nobody really sells records anymore.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.

What happened during the previews of 'Taboo' [musical] was that it was the first time I'd ever been written about as a great song-writer - I cried. I absolutely wept, because it wasn't the usual stuff like, "Oh, he was a drug addict and he did this and that..." It was really looking at the music and it was really complimentary. It was a huge thing.
