I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
I'm not anti-American. I've lived with Kenny, a Texan, for six years.
Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
I think the media is a real demon.
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end.
The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.
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.
There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.
Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
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.
You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
