“I’m not scared at all… Of the cracks in the crystal ball.”

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

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.

By its birth, and for all time, Christianity is pledged to the Cross and dominated by the sign of the Cross.

As a producer, as a CEO of Hartbeat Productions, I am making deals to put my company in place to win, to put my staff to work so that while all this stuff is going on, they’re in the kitchen cooking. So it’s understanding the longevity of the entertainment business; you get out of it what you put into it.

As to the pure mind all things are pure, so to the poetic mind all things are poetical.

In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity.

I don’t want enemies. I want friends, and I want them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and loving whoever they want to.

People see me on the street, and they point to me, and they’re like, ‘Hey! All right, all right, all right!’

Music is the universal language of mankind.

We all have anxiety about things. We all have little insecurities, but eventually you have to face your fears if you want to be successful, and everybody has some fear of failure.
