The reason that gets me is, and the greatest part of my job and what I do, is the humanity of it and there's certain moments where that really cuts through.
You know, songs often have a very coloured past. They might have something about them but it still doesn't work, so someone else adds a bit, and someone else adds a bit so perhaps one day I'll know its full history.
I wrote lyrics that were intensely personal to me a few years ago. Maybe people know me better now.
I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I'm considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are.
I could see myself as a glitter-hippie.
What I normally do with recording, performing, and touring is my name. It's all on my shoulders. If it's a great show, I'm great. If it's not a great show, I'm not great.
If I came across a role that is completely mainstream [and] commercial, but it's the right one, I'd jump at the chance.
I don't try to be a sex bomb. I am one.
I just want to do everything. I don't want to sound soppy or too cliched, but that's the way it is.
My gay audience has been with me from the beginning.
Part of me is a sexual exhibitionist.
When you work in TV, it's such a group effort, it's not about you.
I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.
My life has always been geared towards my career. If my life is complete in other ways then I don't mind being a 65-year-old spinster. But I don't discount love when I'm talking about not getting married. I could... it's just something I haven't wanted to do yet.
