“I like ‘Rocky Horror.’”

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.

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

Yeah, I think speculation keeps things really interesting.

The trick and the trap and the horror is not faith, Scott. I don’t think the trap and the horror is fanaticism.

I think in the case of horror, it’s a chance to confront a lot of your worse fears and those fears usually have to do, ironically, with powerlessness and isolation.

There are two kinds of people in the world – those who have a horror of a vacuum and those with a horror of the things that fill it. Translated into domestic interiors, this means people who live with, and without, clutter.

Horror itself in that fair scene looks gay, And joy springs up e’en in the midst of fear.

You’re going through the horror of it, you’re going through the isolation of it but you’re being empowered by reminding yourself that you’re connected to everybody else.

All that is left is to us is our being horrified at the loss of our sense of horror.

All our horror at such an union was due entirely to prejudice and the offspring of such union would be healthy and pure as any other.

The best of humanity’s recorded history is a creative balance between horrors endured and victories achieved, and so it was during the Harlem Renaissance.
