We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash, and that seeps into people's musical taste.

There are days when I still want to be able to do what I want when I want, but there's also something wonderful about being secure.

I think I have a better sense of my weaknesses - being self-important, selfish and having a big ego probably triggers all the other stuff. I can see myself more clearly.

Television really has been my vehicle. I don't get played on the radio much, so I've relied on TV a lot.

I don't consider my homosexuality a political thing. I consider it a sexual and spiritual thing. I only started going to political rallies to meet women.

I'm a singer and as long as I can sing - which, thank God, is something that I still seem to be able to do - I'd like to carry on making records.

There needn't be a distinction between your life and your music.
