I'm on this search trying to figure out exactly who I am and what I have to say to people.

I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.

I've had a large gay following for many years and have been quite aware of that.

I've raised my daughter with no television.

Im going to be shaking my booty when Im 55.

Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes?

I think of myself as a musician and not a celebrity. Celebrity status is something you have to deliberately pursue - I couldn't imagine myself seeking that.
