Quote

People don't like what I represent, and they think I'm trying to represent the whole gay community just because I'm a gay person and I make music. By default I'm supposed to represent a whole community? I think that's ridiculous.

Every bit of you has been replaced many times over... The point is that you are like a cloud: something that persists over long periods, whilst simultaneously being in flux. Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made.

I get the most gratification in life by feeling like I'm doing something purposeful and meaningful and makes a difference to other people, and that comes with its pros and cons. I've accepted this is the kind of person that I am, and this is the path I've chosen in life - and I'm stickin' with it.

I'm such an awful faker. Everything that comes out of my mouth needs to be the real deal. Not that I ever try to be deceiving, but sometimes it takes a while to find your voice and find what you want to say.

The poetry of life must not be replaced with matter-of-fact prose.

Control is as much an effect as a cause, and the idea that control is something you exert is a real handicap to progress

Everyone has to learn to work with people - it's part of being an adult, too.

When people have expectations, you're going to make a lot of them upset - when in fact I'm not trying to represent anybody but myself.

I don't think that I have much power at all, and I don't think that I'm trying to do anything outside of making my fans happy with the music that I write and record and, of course, I want to branch out and I want to have more fans, so I try to get interviews and I try to talk to different outlets and I try to get my music everywhere it can be.

I think it's such utter hypocrisy that so many people in our society were obviously all watching pornography and yet we treat these people [actors] like they're sub-human. I think it's just disgusting.

I care about making music and I care about creating experiences for my fans with my music and my videos and my performances.
