I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

When I write and produce something, I know exactly how I want it to sound, and I have a very strong interpretation of it. I can't really think of anyone at the moment I'd particularly like to play a duet with. You never know, though, I might receive an offer tomorrow and say, "Yeah, that'd be great." But it's not something that's on my mind.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the "I Want Your Sex" theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.

I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.

I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.

My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.
