“I think the British audience might be more open-minded with some of my imagery and weird choices.”

People come up, and say hi and they enjoy your work.

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

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

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.

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