"If you’re going to be a closet case then just lie and say you’re straight. It bugs me when they say “why are you asking me if I’m gay? It doesn’t matter.” Well it matters a lot to the fifteen year-old at home who’s going through it. It’s a highly offensive statement and it makes me angry.
I’d love to be a role model for gay men who feel they don’t fit in to what it means to be gay. You don’t need a perfect body and hair and love dance music and go out all night and do drugs. I’m a pretty decent guy. I’m the most level-headed in the band by default because everyone else is fucking insane."

"It’s funny - I have a friend, Jake Shears, whose band is called the Scissor Sisters. They’ve got a song right now called “Let’s Have a Kiki” that’s #1 on the dance charts. Anyway, years ago before he had this band, he would always sing, and I kept saying to him, ‘You know what? The singing’s really annoying. You gotta just buckle down and get a job. Just stop the singing, it’s not gonna go anywhere.’ And now they have, like, the #1 album in England."
