I’m proud of my sexuality. I embrace it. It’s just another part of me.
A lot of my male vocal influences are British – people like David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant.
All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.
Fame is a very strange animal.
Carving out an identity for yourself is important so I’m trying to do that as well.
I am gay, and I’m very comfortable with it.
I think sometimes we’re meant to do something but things aren’t lined up correctly.
The biggest risk I’ve ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn’t going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.
I have crushes on women all the time. I don’t have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.
I want to upset people, I want to make people think, I want to keep people interested.
I started rejecting the proper way to sing and I started singing.
I think the British audience might be more open-minded with some of my imagery and weird choices.
When you dance and move around it creates a different reaction from the audience – they love it.
At least I can say that I’m honest.
I breeze through Twitter – I look at the mentions, the pictures, the videos.
I definitely have my opinions that I’m very vocal about and I’m not afraid to put them out there.
I don’t like to look typical.
I’m proud of my sexuality.
I’ve always been fond of the glam-rocker title.
I’ve sung other people’s music all my life.
