We've been working on a new album, which is going to come out next spring, which is very different, a change of style for us - it's going to be almost like rock music.

We hope we are moving toward a world where sexual orientation is not an issue, because we hate the idea of a gay ghetto. I think that it's a real shame that people become restricted by their sexuality or define their whole lives by their sexuality.

I didn't want to wear a checked shirt and grow a mustache - that's what you had to do, and everyone did.

To a certain extent, this tour is a celebration of individuality and that you can invent and reinvent yourself. You should have the power to be able to do that. Sexuality is a part of that. It should release you. It doesn't have to be an issue. It shouldn't box you in.

I think there's an element where people get very comfortable in their ghetto. Which is fair enough.

You should always celebrate your successes because someone else will celebrate your failures.

She's a very charismatic character, and she holds the whole play together.
