“Being gay is like glitter, it never goes away.”

“Watch very closely as the magical angel and I are swallowed by the rainbow twister, and left stranded on the glitter way.”

“For being different, it’s easy. But to be unique, it’s a complicated thing.”

“Never be afraid to dream.”

“I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not together, you won’t be able to order a cup of coffee at the fucking deli without hearing or seeing me.”

“Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy.”

“You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself.”
