I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson

I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can.

I came out of the closet very young, and I had to cut my teeth pretty fast.

When I was signed, at the age of 23...the fact that I presented myself as an out gay man was very, very unusual.

I wish I could just relax sometimes and make some money, but I always feel like I have to prove some kind of big, profound point.

One day you will come to Montauk and see your dad playing the piano And see your other dad wearing glasses Hope that you will want to stay for a while Don't worry I know you'll have to go

I knew I was gay when I was around 13. There wasn't the internet, there weren't support groups, AIDS was everywhere. I mean, it was really dark.
