Fame attracts lunatics.
I've only been interested in the artistic side of life.
I've got to think about what I'm going to say very carefully. There's two avenues of thought: Do you stop everyone going, ban all the artists coming in from Russia? But then you're really leaving the men and women who are gay and suffering under the antigay laws in an isolated situation. As a gay man, I can't leave those people on their own without going over there and supporting them. I don't know what's going to happen, but I've got to go.
I grew up conservative because my mum was a conservative, and when I finally realized what conservatives were, I changed my mind immediately.
Talk to each other. Never go to bed when you're angry with each other. Lady Antonia Frasier who was married to Harold Pinter said they never went to bed on an argument.
I've always been dead set against festivals - really suspicious and wary.
Well, I'm a huge fan of Ryan Adams, who's from North Carolina. And he's beginning to break really quite big.
There is nothing wrong with going to bed with someone of your own sex. People should be very free with sex, they should draw the line at goats.
It's very important to have two tiaras when you're on the road; you never know when you'll be invited to something really formal.
I want to do a musical movie. Like Evita, but with good music.
Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.
I've got a great collection of photography.
I just wish more of my fellow queers would come out sometimes. It's nice out here, you know?
