I don't have to compete in the charts. I can just be myself as a musician, a songwriter and play with the musicians that I really love.

It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics to set you on your feet again.

And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.

I loathe gardening, but I love gardens, and I have two beautiful gardens. I can not bear gardening, but I love gardens.

I want a love that don't mean a thing.

From the start, I've always admired Eminem's thinking. That's the reason I wanted to appear on the Grammys with him when I was asked. Eminem has the balls to say what he feels and to make offensive things funny. That's very necessary today in America, with people being muzzled and irony becoming a lost art. Artists like Eminem who use their free speech to get a point across are vitally important. There just aren't many people in the world with balls that big and talent that awesome.

I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
