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

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you’re doing something right.

I like ‘Rocky Horror.’

The way I look at it is everybody should have the right to get married, if they so choose

I was really beating myself up about performances and how I looked and this and that.

It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb.

I have crushes on women all the time. I don’t have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.

And ah, you know, something about the beat was really cool, and Madonna, visually, was on TV all the time and I thought she was just so beautiful.

If something doesn’t look right, throw some glitter on it.

You are so much more, than your orientation, you know it and I know it.

I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.

When I was kid, I remember playing ‘Vogue’ by Madonna over and over and over again.

Coming up with something new and original is so exciting.

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

Everything is connected to everything else.

I thought, briefly, that I would never feel as intensely connected to the world, to another human being, as I did at that moment.

This complexity is what creates that which we all know – the World – is connected in a system of networks – and I’m not referring only to the internet but also to thousands of analog networks in which we are all immersed at every instant.

All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.

Love causes us to be deeply connected in an unspoken way. It happens when we’re really available, really open.

The piano and the singing are two equal things to me – maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.

How many times have you prayed or asked or said you needed help, when suddenly somebody showed up in your life? We are all connected through our thoughts.

You have 37.2 trillion cells in your body. There is vastness outside you and vastness inside you. You are connected to this mystery, you are a microcosm of the universe, and every aspect of your life benefits from the universe’s provision.
