I recruited my dad to be my bass player and fired him on several occasions. He stayed on as a bus driver.

I came along at a time when the industry was eating its young.

I'm a Scorpio, and who knows if there is any validity to it, but I'm very emotional. I have high highs and low lows.

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

In the first decade of my life, I came to know and love God, as I was raised in a Christian home and community.

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 felt like a sinful person when I dated men and allowed them to feel for me in a way I knew I could never naturally feel for them. That felt wrong and a lie.
