Image
I'd be hanging out in my bathrobe all day, stinky, just writing, and my mom allowed me to do this-as long as I was writing songs. She said, 'As long as you're seriously working on music, I'll support you. Don't get a job, because if you work, it will crush you.

The more hedonistic you were, the better...I very much subscribed to that as a young artist.

These are just the rules and regulations Of the birds, and the bees The earth, and the trees, Not to mention the gods, not to mention the gods.

My mother and father could not handle even me being gay. We never talked about it really.

I've always gravitated towards opera, and the Royal Opera House is quite possibly the greatest opera house on earth.

I've been thinking of trying my hand at rap. I've been recording snippets on my BlackBerry.

I knew I was gay when I was around 13. There wasn't the internet, there weren't support groups, AIDS was everywhere. I mean, it was really dark.

Image
I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older - until I drop dead of beauty.

I believe in freedom Freedom's apparently all I need But who's ever been free in this world? Who has never had to bleed in this world?

Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life?
