All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.

If I have a hit, then I hope the people who like the hit song go out and buy my album so they can hear it all.

I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.

I hear the word 'tolerance'-tha t some people are trying to teach people to be tolerant of gays. I'm not satisfied with that word. I am gay, and I am not seeking to be 'tolerated'. One tolerates a toothache, rush-hour traffic, an annoying neighbor with a cluttered yard. I am not a negative to be tolerated.

I've learned a lot about my voice, and about things I can do with it. Maybe that's why my sound has become a little more pop.

All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.

I've saved every dime I've made in my life.
