I very much want to inject gay culture into the mainstream. It's not an underground tool for me. It's my whole life.

Even if the whole world turns their back on you, you will always have yourself.

I decided to pursue music, so I dropped out of school and I told my parents I didn't want any money from them. I got three jobs and I just hit the ground running.

Look to yourself for the answer - stop calling your girlfriends and stop calling your mom - you know if it's working or not, you either feel like a goddess or you don't

I don't want to sound presumptuous, but I've made it my goal to revolutionize pop music. The last revolution was launched by Madonna 25 years ago

I'm beautiful in my way 'cause God makes no mistakes. I'm on the right track baby, I was born this way.

Knowing that I inspired SAM SMITH is one of the most powerful experiences I've had as an artist. I was Sam. I still am Sam.
