I was writing before I met Rick and actually I created the band before Rick Finch. Basically, the first album, I wrote. Who's to say what would've happened? Rick was very talented too.

I've been to many gay and straight clubs and I have fun in every one of them. It's always great to hear my music played and to be there with everyone.

We all need to accept everyone.

My music was made with everyone in mind with no prejudice towards anyone.

Everyone has the right to love and worship whoever and whatever they want to. It's nobody's business but theirs. We are not the ones to judge that.

Actually, we didn't tour that much back in the 70s because we had all these other artists under our hat. My touring was really limited. I tour more now than I did back then.

People in the gay community are real people too. They have lives and families and friends. They do normal things.
