garden people bother
I just go in my back garden. It's the only place where people don't come and bother you.
drama looks appearance
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
crowds tests difficult
A difficult crowd will always test your true ability.
gay worry individuality
Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.
dog children enough
I'm not responsible enough to have a dog - or a child.
successful empty felt
I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.
years four-years four
I was unwelcome in the U.S. for four years.
say-anything trying world
I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
real party thinking
I think people could be a bit friendlier. The only real contact you have with people is when they're annoyed if you've had a party - you know, it's been a bit too noisy for them or something.
mean stuff speedos
I don't get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?
writing thinking people
Whenever there's an interview with me, I might read it, but I don't read the comments because they're so hateful sometimes. When someone writes something nasty, I just think, "If that's your contribution to my day, I really don't need your impoliteness." I'm lucky that people are very cool with me and I get a lot of love. I appreciate that.
thinking giving individual
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
voice people singing
I'm not someone who can sing anything. And my favorite singers aren't people whose voice you would say is amazing. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, a huge David Bowie fan. None of those people have orthodox, cabaret voices. These are people where what they're singing about is just as important as how they're singing it.
kids rivers people
As a kid, I would've loved to get a tweet from David Bowie or Joan Rivers or Tom Cruise. It's great that you can communicate with people and it's instant.
