I'm a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.

I was very fortunate to be able to represent an icon to many African Americans.

I never hated my father. I would have named my child Usher regardless. I never hated myself because I carried his name, because I made it mean what I wanted it to mean.
