I miss New York. I still love how people talk to you on the street - just assault you and tell you what they think of your jacket.

I know I'm not the greatest singer or dancer, but that doesn't interest me, I'm interested in being provocative and pushing people's buttons.

Whenever I do my live shows, I feel artistically inspired and excited because I get to do and say a lot of things that I can't if I just make a record. A lot of times it's the only way people are going to hear my music because you don't get to have your music played on Top 40 if you're above the age of 35.

Hurt that's not supposed to show, and tears that fall when no one knows.

I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body!

I have my work and my faith... If that's boring to some people, I can't tell you how much I don't care.

The media is something that affects a lot of people, so you're constantly trying to strike a balance between respecting something and not caring about it.
