“I am gay, and I’m very comfortable with it.”

I think sometimes we’re meant to do something but things aren’t lined up correctly.

So whoever wants to come and get part of that lifestyle, we accept anybody.

Female performers have been doing this for years – pushing the envelope about sexuality – and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out.

I don’t think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I’m gay.

Obviously when you are doing a recording, things aren’t gonna translate as over-the-top.

I definitely have my opinions that I’m very vocal about and I’m not afraid to put them out there.

My first album was completed in three months.

That become celebrities or become really successful in what they do because they believe in who they are.

I’m so happy to be in a committed relationship.

I’m a freak in the fondest way possible.

lf. I wasn’t going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.

You can march to your own beat. It’s so hard sometimes in our country because conformity is the way things are pushed.

There’s no regrets for me.

I try to go throughout my daily life just as if nothing has changed, but you don’t have much anonymity anymore, which feels really good.

After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

I just talk a lot, that’s the problem.

A lot of Donna Summer and things that maybe weren’t trendy anymore or weren’t hip in gay clubs but you’d hear them at Taboo.

I’m not gay, and I’m not a transvestite.

If you listen to the debate, [Barack Obama] and [John] McCain said the same thing about gay rights.

On Madonna: She’s a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.

How old is too old to stop believing in, like, the tooth fairy? Like 12? I’ve got a cousin who is 18… Yeah, still believes in gay marriage.

When I came out, when I was 17 years old, it was one of those things where I realized that there was going to be so many obstacles, but being gay doesn’t mean being weak. And being gay doesn’t mean that you are less than anybody else. It’s just who you are.

Just because you’re gay, I won’t turn you away. If you stick around, I’m sure we can find some common ground.

The world is less homophobic, depending on where you are in the world…
