Sick and perverted always appeals to me.
Trying to be a professional dancer, paying my rent by posing nude for art classes, staring at people staring at me naked. Daring them to think of me as anything but a form they were trying to capture with their pencils and charcoal. I was defiant. Hell-bent on surviving. On making it. But it was hard and it was lonely, and I had to dare myself every day to keep going.
I want to keep growing and living life to the fullest for as long as I'm on this planet.
When the day is done the most important thing is loving people and sharing love.
Love´s nothing else than a war in which both are the winners.
I like coming up with these spectacular extravaganzas that will, hopefully, totally blow people away. But I also like the intimacy of stopping it all and sitting at the edge of the stage and connecting with individual people in the audience.
There is a very modest side to me too. How far away from me is the image? It's about 20 steps away.
I feel that most gay men are so much more in touch with a certain kind of sensitivity that heterosexual men aren't allowed to be in touch with, their feminine side. To me they're whole human beings, more so than most of the straight men that I know.
When I think about popular culture, I can't help but think that we're living in the age of loneliness. There's this illusion that we all have instant access to each other, but we actually have no real connection.
The worst thing about being famous? I think it's what everybody says.. the lack of privacy and the idea that you're not really allowed to make mistakes and everything that you do is viewed under a microscope.
If you're sure of who you are it doesn't really matter what people call you, does it?
There's one thing you can't download and that's a live performance. And I know how to put on a show, and enjoy performing, and I'll always have that.
I don't think ultimately God punishes. I think we bring about our own destruction or our own creation.
Everyone probably thinks that I'm a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I'd rather read a book.
My nature is to provoke, that's true. I can't help myself. But it's always with good intentions.
I want the good life, but I don't want an easy ride. What I want is to work for it, feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips.
Having money is just the best thing in the world.
Being loved keeps you young.
To be brave is to love unconditionally without expecting anything in return.
I believe in equal rights for all people.
The thing I love most about being famous is people listening to me when I have something important to say.
I don't think anyone strives to be anything negative. I just think that it's our nature to only focus on a few things in life and forget about a lot of other stuff.
I think they were scared of me because I was different. I've always asked, 'Why? Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to look this way? Why do I have to dress this way? Why do I have to behave this way?'
The physical body is assembled just like a chair or a building or a flower, but the revolutions we start, the people we affect and inspire, that is eternal. So, in that respect, we do achieve immortality, and that makes me less fearful.
Just because I'm presented life in a certain way doesn't mean I do all these things. It's just something I choose to express.
