Melissa Etheridge

I've sold my soul for freedom. It's lonely but it's sweet.

I believed in Obama for social issues. I believe he brought our nation together and healed our racial divide. Martin Luther King's dream came true when he was elected. That's huge.

On the road, as a 'rock star,' there's superficial attention and adulation is thrown at you for a couple of hours - then you're alone in your room and it's lonely.

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

I did do Broadway for a little less than a year and realized quickly I don't have a passion for it and, more importantly, I don't have a talent in it.
