I just think you shouldn't expect people to pay money to see someone sing live and then lip-synch.

I find that so many of my peers of my age don't listen to anything new. But I love the new. I love the energy of the new, the energy of the new act. The young are so important. The young give you the energy, and if you don't notice the young, and you don't give them credit and you don't listen to all sorts of music, then you're missing out on something.

Ask anyone. If it hadn't been for Elvis, I don't know where popular music would be. He was the one that started it all off, and he was definitely the start of it for me.

Better to build a bridge than a wall.

And I'm afraid, in this day and age, trust, which I count so, you know, I love loyalty. I love trust.

I don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about when I used to drink or when I used to take drugs. I'm more interested in the future.

And the stigma hasn't really changed that much in 31 years. You are still getting people - it's a shame-based disease. It's based on sexual transmission. And it's still shame-based. And until people feel strong enough and feel loved enough to actually open up and say, listen, I'm HIV-positive, then we are facing an uphill battle.
