My trouble is I talk first and think later.
I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
My favourite song is Someone To Love. That is more like me than the other stuff, as it was the only one I was actually able to create from the bottom up. I call it an homage, not a remake. It is an homage to Freddie Mercury, because I don't think people can really remake Freddie Mercury. That's why we did a gospel version.
I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months.
I am honored to be a part of that film. It has a really important message, embracing one's individuality. It was the most universal film I've ever read.
I ask a lot because I'm very curious - especially about ex-girlfriends. I'm pretty good at getting the answers, too.
I don't really take myself very seriously.
Cherish the good, learn from the bad
I have never tried [cocaine] in my entire life. I've never even seen it. ... I am also way too high-strung. I can't even take a Sudafed. Can you imagine? My God. I think my heart would explode.
I find this life so interesting.
I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.
I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.
I'd love to be a man for a day, just to see what it's like.
