Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
Be good to yourself ’cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I’m no exception to that.
I’m the luckiest writer on earth.
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.
It’s almost required with major artists that there’s some duality. And I’ve got duality everywhere.
Stupid cupid keeps on calling me, but I see nothing in his eyes. I miss my babe.
I’ve wondered what my sexuality might be, but I’ve never wondered whether it was acceptable or not. Anyway, who really cares whether I’m gay or straight?
Yeah, I’m going to need a leather jacket for when I’m on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
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.
Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
For a while I took Ecstacy when it was not very available over here. I took it simply because it made me feel that everything was wonderful.
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 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.
I probably owe an apology to fans that have been supportive and have not wanted to believe any of this was true. It takes a little bit of the sheen off of the mystique.
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
It was like I had a curse on me. I couldn’t believe how much God was piling on. There was so much death around me.
You can have my credit card, baby, but keep your red hot fingers off of my heart, lady.
All fear does is waste time.
You can only do what you’re capable of at the time.
