“I knew I was different. I thought that I might be gay or something because I couldn't identify with any of the guys at all. None of them liked art or music. They just wanted to fight and get laid. It was many years ago but it gave me this real hatred for the average American macho male.”

“I am not gay, although I wish I were, just to piss off homophobes.”

“I started to be really proud of the fact I was gay even though I wasn't”

“I would like to get rid of the homophobes, sexists, and racists in our audience. I know they're out there and it really bothers me.”

“I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships.”

“I just hope I don't become so blissful I become boring. I think I'll always be neurotic enough to do something weird.”

“I don't need to be inspired any longer, just supported.”
