I Get Strength From My Art -

No One Knows You Better Than You Know Yourself. Do The Thing You Want. Don't Wait For Someone Else

When I First Came Up, The Whole Aids Epidemic Was Starting, And The Gay Community That I Experienced From The Beginning Of My Career Was Mostly - And Overwhelmingly - Concerned With Staying Alive. And, Also, I Felt Really Aware Of The Preciousness Of Life And Time. The Gay Community And People Who Were Hiv-positive Were Treated So Badly, And I Was Very Disturbed By Things. But I Also Saw A Lot Of Love And Connection In The Gay Community At That Time.

Some People Out There Think Everything I Do Is A Publicity Stunt, They Think When I Go To The Bathroom It's A Publicity Stunt.

I Tried To Be A Boy, I Tried To Be A Girl, I Tried To Be A Mess.

Go Down Where All Life Begins, Go Down That's Where My Love Is.
