I guess I like to have fun.
We live in a very scary time. Or should I say we don't live at all.
I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
Gay men are perfect men for girls who are tough. They're not threatened by strong women, and they're usually very in touch with their feelings and pay attention to details. I've always had an affinity with gay men.
If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!
Having children made me go down a road of serious introspection and self-examination. I think it's informed and hopefully enhanced my creativity.
I'm constantly exploring spirituality, sexuality, different aspects of love, whether it's romantic love or the love you have for your children. And love can be as devastating and destructive as it can be rejuvenating and life-giving. I guess I try to capture all of that.
I’m a role model for those who dare to be different. For those who dare to take a stand in their life and have an opinion
One must dare to show what he wants. You have to go and ask for things rather than wait for them to happen.
Who needs the sun, when the rain is so full of life?
I could never work in a recording studio where you have this lovely view and a beach and the waves are crashing. For me, it's all about being in a tiny room with little windows. It's almost like you have to be in a prison. And you can create beauty when you're in that sort of deprived environment, which is a re-creation of your formative years.
I've always been interested in electronica, techno, trip-hop, that kind of music. The thing that bothered me about a lot of that music, though, was it seemed devoid of emotion. There wasn't a lot that felt personal.
You're getting angry, you know I can see. You're just jealous, cause you can't be me.
I think after time goes by and you earn certain rights or you break through certain barriers, you could sometimes, maybe, take it for granted what you have now that you didn't have before. And then that would lead to a certain lack of community, in a way, caring in a way, that I saw before [in gay society].
