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

You may never reach that glorious moment until you die, so live life on the edge halfway between heaven and hell...and let's all dance in the middle in purgatory.

Making ziti for the Chicago Fire Department! I hope they're not too busy today, but this should fill their bellies I hope they like it!

Women are strong and fragile. Women are beautiful and ugly. We are soft spoken and loud, all at once.

My concerts are about me being very private in public, but I'm very protective.

The whole point of what I do - the monster ball, the music, the performance art aspect of it, I wanna create a space for my fans where they can feel free and they can celebrate because I didn't fit in in high school and I felt like a freak, so I like to create this atmosphere for my fans where they feel like they have a freak in me to hang out with and they don't feel alone.

My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it's my destiny to protect them.
