| Quotes: |
There's not a damn thing that I do on my own that's not for my fans or for people that have supported me. So, I don't really care about my agenda, I wanna be on yours.
<br />
<hr>
That which makes you different is what makes you strong. Whether you're gay, straight, purple, orange, dinosaur, I don't care.
<br />
<hr>
No matter what, I will always prefer a live performance. Whether it be a play or a musical, or playing music live. As long as it's live, it's the best because there's sort of an immediacy to connection between an audience and a performer, whereas where you do film or television, you're at the whim of so many different forces.
<br />
<hr>
Pink. Because it would be really funny. 'Cause then really mean people wouldn't look so mean.
<br />
<hr>
There's nothing more badass than being yourself. |
