How I love David Bowie.

love is just a history that they may prove and when your gone ill tell them my religion is you

I'm not interested, Larry, in being a perfect, plastic pop singer that looks great in bikinis and is on the cover of every magazine. I'm more interested in helping my fans to love who they are, and helping them to reject prejudice and reject those things that they're taught from society to not like themselves, to feel like freaks, that they're not wanted.

I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?

In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.

I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, "It's OK to be sad." I've been trained to love my darkness.
