I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.

No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

Me, I don’t want any children, I don’t want responsibility. I am gay, I smoke weed and I do exactly what I want in my life because of my talent. I represent an ideal which others have had to let go and they blame me for that. Especially men.

I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
