Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do

Sick and perverted always appeals to me.

You have to reinvent to stay fresh, to stay in the game

I always felt like I was a freak when I was growing up and that there was something wrong with me because I couldn't fit in anywhere.

Trying to be a professional dancer, paying my rent by posing nude for art classes, staring at people staring at me naked. Daring them to think of me as anything but a form they were trying to capture with their pencils and charcoal. I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it. But it was hard and it was lonely, and I had to dare myself every day to keep going.

Unbelievable, George Michael has died at the age of 53. RIP.This dreadful year goes on and on.So sad, a real talent.

Raising kids makes most people, including me, grow up at least a little.
