When people have expectations, you're going to make a lot of them upset - when in fact I'm not trying to represent anybody but myself.

I don't think that I have much power at all, and I don't think that I'm trying to do anything outside of making my fans happy with the music that I write and record and, of course, I want to branch out and I want to have more fans, so I try to get interviews and I try to talk to different outlets and I try to get my music everywhere it can be.

It's really important for me to live purposefully, and I feel that way putting music out in the world and having people connect with it. That means everything to me.

People don't like what I represent, and they think I'm trying to represent the whole gay community just because I'm a gay person and I make music. By default I'm supposed to represent a whole community? I think that's ridiculous.

I'm not always open to creative input when I have my heart set on a creative idea or a message I want to convey.

I'm such an awful faker. Everything that comes out of my mouth needs to be the real deal. Not that I ever try to be deceiving, but sometimes it takes a while to find your voice and find what you want to say.
