Wherever is your heart I call home.
You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye.
Bear the burdens of others, but don't put them in your pocket too.
There are still civil rights issues. There are still people who can't be visited by their spouse in the hospital because they're gay. These are humanitarian issues. At the end of the day, all you want is for people to be happy in the pursuit of life, love and liberty.
All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.
But I'm warning you, we're growing up.
My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
