I think the best way to be an activist is to live your life well and be honest. It means being out. If you are not comfortable marching, you can make a big difference just by working side by side with someone who actually knows you're gay and a fine human being.

The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.

Once I overcame breast cancer, I wasn't afraid of anything anymore.

The only thing that stays the same is change.

Realizing I was gay was a long sort of waking up.

I feel my heart break to see a nation ripped apart by it's own greatest strength - it's diversity.

I wanted to be out so I could relax and be me.
