I would never wanna do a show that's strictly maudlin and invaded my personal life and my home. I would never do that.

I'm trying to appeal to the disenfranchised everybody, not just specifically gay.

When people pay to see you live, they connect with you on a much deeper level than people who just buy your records.

I don't believe in karma.

I think there are always different times in your life when you go, "Oh, god. I wish I were traditionally pretty. My life would be so much easier." But then you get through that, and you go, "Well, I'm not."

When you have a knowledge of history, it's very soothing. When there's continuity in your life, it's soothing.

You reach a certain point in your 30s when you say things in a much safer way.
