I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.

People know what they see but they don't know what's happening inside. If you want to know who you are and how you feel about yourself, take a look at your environment.

Believe in yourself when nobody else does.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
