You know, songs often have a very coloured past. They might have something about them but it still doesn't work, so someone else adds a bit, and someone else adds a bit so perhaps one day I'll know its full history.

If I stopped making records or performing, I'd probably still be famous for a while being me. But I'd rather have something to show for myself.

The reason that gets me is, and the greatest part of my job and what I do, is the humanity of it and there's certain moments where that really cuts through.

I get the lyrics of a tune and interpret them my way.

If I came across a role that is completely mainstream and commercial, but it's the right one, I'd jump at the chance.

I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up professionally.

Gay icons usually have some tragedy in their lives, but I've only had tragic haircuts and outfits.
