“Love’s like a junkie, addiction’s a fact. Passion’s a monkey, you can’t keep off your back.”

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear, you’re a butterfly, and butterflies are free to fly, fly away, high-away, bye-bye.

So I am deeply saddened and shocked over the current legislation that is now in place against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community here in Russia. In my opinion, it is inhumane and it is isolating.

I love every minute of fatherhood, staying up all night, changing nappies, kids crying, I find it really funny and inspiring. It connects you to the world in a new way.

You can cage the songbird, but you can’t make her sing. And you can trap the free bird, but you’ll have to clip her wings.

Once you have people around you who don’t question you, you’re in a dangerous place.

I’ve only been interested in the artistic side of life.

I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It’s nice out here, you know?

The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.

I have a lot of money stashed away, but I do live my life from day to day.

Live for each second without hesitation.

I think religion has always tried to turn hatred towards gay people. Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays. But there are so many Christian people I know who are gay and love their religion.

Don’t be afraid to let her into your heart and when your down, don’t try to carry the whole world on your shoulders.

Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway. Lay me down in sheets of linen, you had a busy day today.

I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It’s like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don’t really feel that part until I’m into whatever I’m going to wear.

Welcome to the world of bullshit, my dear. You have arrived.

How, love and addiction can have similar strains – of attachment.

Faith without doubt is addiction.

I’m addicted to placebos. I could quit, but it wouldn’t matter.

How serious can an addiction to sunglasses be?

Knowledge is an addiction, as drink; knowledge does not bring understanding. Knowledge can be taught, but not wisdom; there must be freedom from knowledge for the coming of wisdom.

I’m addicted to something at all times. Like, it’s always music, but maybe sometimes it’s a pair of pants or something else. That’s just how my personality works.

I’m addicted to you as a man to a cigarette.

Some of her addictions were weird. They have heartbeats.
