“There are a lot of gay people in fashion, but it’s not as if every gay person is a great creator.”

It’s fun seeing my label on someone’s behind – I like that.

I don’t think about my fame very much.

I personally would not have plastic surgery. What the hell for? It looks ridiculous.

Nothing earth-shattering has happened in men’s fashion. How much can you do with men’s clothes?

I certainly feel that an adult woman has a right to determine what happens to her life and body.

People have told me about organized crime in the fashion industry, but I can’t talk about that. I’m looking to stay alive.

The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.

Anyone who is secure about herself shouldn’t be threatened by the ads I do.

I won’t allow myself to have tremendous fear.

I don’t dwell on success. Maybe that’s one reason I’m successful.

I guess I don’t have a proper perspective on my fame; if I did, I don’t think I’d like it.

AIDS is an absolutely tragic disease. The argument about AIDS’ being some kind of divine retribution is crap.

I’ve been strong and determined all my life about many things I’ve wanted.

I’m crazy, and I don’t pretend to be anything else.

There’s an awareness of fashion in this country, and it’s not limited to gay people.

If you really love someone and care about him, you can survive many difficulties.

Is there another Life? Shall I awake and find all this a dream? There must be we cannot be created for this sort of suffering.

God didn’t have time to create a nobody, just a somebody. I believe that each of us has God given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition. Each person is unique and special.

The difference between where we are and where we want to be is created by the changes we are willing to make in our lives. When you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done to get it.

I can never stop admiring how beautifully God has created everything around us, and how well synchronized everything is.

The music helped me sympathize with our young generation and also empathize with them. I’d like to create and write more music that represents them.

I come up with more ideas when I’m on the road, but I don’t get to finish them. I don’t get to fully flush them out because I’m so busy on the road. I’m very all over the place, but I’m definitely most creative when I’m out here.

If I don’t see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It’s very visual.

We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.
