I want people to understand that there is a group of Christians out there who want to be more open and understanding and tolerant and loving of all kinds of people, even the people that don't believe in God at all.

Norman, Okla. That's where my folks live, so it's home to me.

"I Get Along Without You Very Well" is not as well-known. It's complicated. First of all, it's range-y. It's not necessarily an easy sing. It's also deep. A lot of times people just don't want to go there.

We sing because we can't speak anymore.

I don't speak during the day. I warm up physically and, obviously, vocally, constantly. And I try to live like a nun.

Make no mistake, I am a Christian and I believe in God and I don't believe he makes mistakes, so I believe that being gay is not a sin and in fact it's how you're made.

There's a big difference to me in making fun of something and having fun with something.
