I just talk a lot, that’s the problem.
If sexy scares you, don’t listen to my music.
The best way to be loved, is to love yourself.
When I was kid, I remember playing ‘Vogue’ by Madonna over and over and over again. And ah, you know, something about the beat was really cool, and Madonna, visually, was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.
The way I look at it is everybody should have the right to get married, if they so choose.
The only lifestyle I’m promoting is the lifestyle of love and friendship. The lifestyle of music, and joy, and fashion. So whoever wants to come and get part of that lifestyle, we accept anybody.
The album feels like a new era for me – emotionally, lyrically, sonically. It feels fresh, it feels new. It’s still me. It’s still stuff that fans know and love but it’s a new chapter 100 percent.
I’m a freak in the fondest way possible.
I think you kind of have to put yourself out there.
I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.
In middle school, I really didn’t have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.
I never really listen to what people say. My thing is that my favorite artists are artists that are theatrical. Obviously when you are doing a recording, things aren’t gonna translate as over-the-top.
For me, one of the important things about keeping vocally healthy is warming up and making sure I’m aware where my voice is at, drinking lots of water and getting plenty of sleep, and just taking care of myself with exercise and eating healthy.
I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay.
Ive only dressed in drag three or four times.
When I was in high school I was 250 pounds.
You are so much more, than your orientation, you know it and I know it.
I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.
The kids that are different and out there and expressive and are bold with those choices, those are the people that grow up to be people we all want to hang out with, that become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.
After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.
