I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider.

The moment something happens to one you love, it's twenty times more intense. You experience pain and enlightenment on a much vaster scale.

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

Crazy as it sounds, I'm a believer in destiny and serendipity, and I have had cosmic experiences all my life. Something told me I was meant for greater stuff. And look, I've had a baby! And I've written an opera!

As an artist, you put so much into what you do and it can all be torn down in a nanosecond.

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 think everybody identified at a pretty young age that I was fairly entranced with myself. And that I had to be tempered.
