What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope. It is not a reflection of all religious people.

When I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful. But it's the intention of the work that's changed. I have fans now. I have a new purpose: to remind them that I am one of them, that we are one another. My consciousness has changed.

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.

It's hard knowing who to trust with your personal life. When you cry in your room at night, you don't always know who to call. So I am very close to my family.

In case you're wondering whether I lip synch, the answer is no... people think so because I sound so good.

Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it.

My new year's resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.
