I have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground.

I suspected my homosexuality, but I'd never acted out on it because I was afraid of sex. It's awful to be afraid of sex.

The whole point of being in this business and being blessed and being successful is that you're able to do things for your friends or your family, which means that they can have something special in their lives, too.

I'm very relaxed. I have a family, I have a partner of 20 years, I have a wonderful life; nothing could be better.

Make this man a saint now, OK?

I was incredibly confident on stage because that's where I loved to be. But offstage, there was no balance. I was a little shy kid that went onstage. And I always said, cocaine was the drug that made me open up. I could talk to people. But then it became the drug that closed me down. So it started out by making me talk to everyone, and then ended up by me isolating myself alone with it; which is the end of the world, really.

I don't want a Jennifer Lopez wedding or anything like that. A commitment ceremony would be a nice thing to do.
