 I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love. |
| My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that. |
| I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song. |
| It's important to me that I should be free to express myself. |
| There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find. |
| Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end. |
| Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups. |
| You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart. |
| I think the media is a real demon. |
| The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not. |
| I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway. |
| I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon. |
| Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart. |
| I think for most of us, our biggest frailties are sexual. |
| With pop stars or film stars, we become the object of people's self-definition, as well as the object of sexual definition. |
| It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that. |
| Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise. |
| I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s. |
| I'm not anti-American. I've lived with Kenny, a Texan, for six years. |
| I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was. |
