“If someone really wants to hurt you, they’ll find a way whatever. I don’t want to live my life worrying about it.”

I think the media is a real demon.

Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.

I don’t want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

Freedom. I will not give you up.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

There is no such thing as a reluctant star.

I couldn’t change anything without changing the end position, and I’m perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it’s left me here.

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

I can’t believe that I’ve written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn’t bother releasing music anymore.

It’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

My music is some of the most honest music that’s been released and I think that’s why people buy it.

I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.

It hurts to let go but it heals to be free.

When you’ve been hurt so many times every reaching hand looks hungry not helpful.

A tear once lost returns but a love once lost is lost forever.

Once, I found myself breaking down between “its okay” and “its not”.

To all those who ever wished to hurt me, “ I am sorry that you broke when you hit me.”

I think I will always be half a breath between the hurting and the healing.

The longing for what should have been is what breaks my heart, over again.

Maybe those who hurt me in the past were not all monsters, but rather kindred spirits who got lost along the way.
