In retrospect, I'm really shocked at how far I put my heart out there on the line with 'Prima Donna'. I seem to have this knack for being able to accomplish that.

I am always writing; if you want to survive in this business, you need to keep working, keep creating and never stop the output.

I'll be honest, I worry sometimes about what I've done. I have tied my whole person to my art and, whatever it takes to get that hook, I will go there and do it.

I would love to have a number one hit. The truth is if I don't get one, I'll be fine, but at the same time, the truth is that I'm dying for one, as well.

Musically I'm able to keep going, because it's not about money and it's not about success. It's a challenge.

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.

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.
