“I never really listen to what people say. My thing is that my favorite artists are artists that are theatrical.”

We don’t have a lot of men on stage doing flamboyant or theatrical. We have a lot of female pop stars doing it, but where are the guys? Where’s the classic pop-rock showman?

All these songs honestly explore the ups and downs of my reality.

Nowadays in pop, there’s not a lot of men that are singing big and loud and high – it’s not as common as it once was.

Be who you want to be – be free in your own skin, be liberated and feel beautiful, and do what you want to do without judgement

I was a big fan of Middle Eastern elements of music and experimental electronic and tribal sounds.

In middle school, I really didn’t have music, but in high school, I remember taking a lot of choir and drama.

I like adding little elements into the final mix. I’m more fond of the ’70s glam than ’80s. I have that style of vocals… there are a lot of pop artists who are using the glam vibe in their music. I’m part of that wave.

Love overcomes hate. Love has no color. Love has no orientation. All is love.

I think the responsibility of pop stars is to liberate the masses. In that everyone can be whatever they wanna be.

My mother was always supportive.

I need to be able to explain myself in context.

I’ve been kind of toying around with the bi thing in my head. I wouldn’t ever give myself the label ‘bisexual,’ but bi-curious? Yea.

I think, for the majority of my twenties, I was always so concerned with what I didn’t have, or what I still wanted.

I knew that it was my only shot to be taken seriously in the recording industry, because it’s fast and broad.

I started to realize I wasn’t like every other boy.

Pop is a little bit theatrical. That’s the whole vibe. That’s the point – is that it’s great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it’s a presentation. There’s a showmanship about it. And that’s why I wanted to be a pop star.

My favorite thing about doing photo shoots is just being able to have fun, meeting new people, getting dressed up, and I just love doing it. So, I have a lot of fun.

Acting is everybody’s favorite second job.

I consider myself a crayon. I may not be your favorite color but one day you’ll need me to complete your picture.

I was writing with my homegirl who’s one of my favorite people to work with. We were just sitting in a studio and I said, I want to be able to talk about sex, but very specific kinds of sex.

Of all the places I visit, the past is still my favorite.

Tobacco is my favorite vegetable.

England is one of my favorite places. The fans are just so crazy.

I play Hank Hansen, a real guy. Youd be amazed at how much information they have on this guy: personality traits, nicknames, favorite color, you name it.
