I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It's like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don't really feel that part until I'm into whatever I'm going to wear.

To forgive and be forgiven, if it's the last thing I do, then in death's release I may find the peace that in life I never knew.

I wasn't involved in anything. I wasn't out - you know, I know I wasn't in ACT UP. I wasn't with Larry Kramer. I wasn't by his side. I wasn't saying what I should do, because, by all accounts, I was a drug addict and an alcoholic. And I was living in a complete bubble of self-absorption.

Rocket Man, burning out his fuse up here alone.

My mother encouraged me and was very great about me being gay, but she always encouraged me to follow my musical dreams, which I'm very grateful for.

I think people should be free to engage in any sexual practices they choose; they should draw the line at goats, though.

A couple of sounds that I really like are the sounds of a switchblade and a motor bike.
