Looking back, one of the things I love most about my mom was that she never, ever relented. She stuck to her guns right up until the end. She wasn't abusive, but she was never that thrilled that I was gay.

I think my mother, more than anyone, knew the importance of inspiration. If it was occurring, you had to use it.

Guess the world needs both sun And the moon too Sad with what I have except for you.

I am ridiculously high-maintenance.

I'm not a terrible smoker, actually. My major addiction, which is horrible, is straight boys.

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.

I have earned hundreds of thousands of pounds, but I can't seem to get to grips with money.
