It's really wonderful to be able to be nobody, and then have a moment when I can be somebody, and then go right back to being nobody again.

It's funny, I remember doing the Johnny Carson show, and, uh, I couldn't afford my rent.

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.

There is one tradition in America I am proud to inherit. It is our first freedom and the truest expression of our Americanism: the ability to dissent without fear. It is our right to utter the words, 'I disagree.' We must feel at liberty to speak those words to our neighbors, our clergy, our educators, our news media, our lawmakers and, above all, to the one among us we elect - President.

I think I have a really diverse audience. I've had people from all sorts of sexual persuasions.

I wish I had appreciated my youth - I should have worn tighter clothing when I could have!
