I Was Incredibly Confident On Stage Because That's Where I Loved To Be. But Offstage, There Was No Balance. I Was A Little Shy Kid That Went Onstage.

People Who Mock Rap And Say, "i Don't Like It," They Should Go And Check Out Kanye [west] In The Studio Rapping, Or Marshall, Eminem, When He's In The Studio. It's A Phenomenon. Don't Knock It Until You've Seen It. It May Not Be Your Cup Of Tea, But Don't Ridicule It.

I Find That So Many Of My Peers Of My Age Don't Listen To Anything New. But I Love The New. I Love The Energy Of The New, The Energy Of The New Act. The Young Are So Important.

When People Go To Rehab And Come Out, They Go Through A Difficult Period, A Lot Of People. I Never Had That. I Was So Glad To Be Rid Of All That Crap That For Me, To Learn Again And To Function As A Human Being And Learn How To Participate In The Human Race Again Was Just Pure Joy.

From The Start, I've Always Admired Eminem's Thinking. That's The Reason I Wanted To Appear On The Grammys With Him When I Was Asked.

Dave And I As A Couple Seem To Be The Acceptable Face Of Gayness, And That's Great. I've Got To Use That Power To Try And Do What I Can - Or We Have - To Try To Make The Situations In Russia And Poland Better.

The Aids Disease Is Caused By A Virus, But The Aids Epidemic Is Not. The Aids Epidemic Is Fueled By Stigma, By Hate, By Misinformation, By Ignorance, By Indifference. Science Has Accomplished Miracles Over The Past 20 Years, And Science Can Now End This Disease - But It Cannot End The Epidemic. We Need More Than Medicine. We Can Do Something About These Things. We Need To Speak Out About The Changes We Need To Make In Our Society.

I'm Enjoying Everything In My Life, But I Think The Element Of Surprise In Show Business Is What Makes Us Really Love It, Because One Day You're Sitting By The Phone Waiting To Do Something Or Not Doing Anything, And The Next Day You've Got The Chance Of A Lifetime.

If There Is A Better Singer In England Than Craig David, Then I Am Margaret Thatcher.

That's Just A Part Of Being An Artist: You Can't Write Great Stuff All The Time, Because If You Did, Then You'd Be Inhuman. The Human Side Of People Is That Sometimes They Fail.

My Mother Encouraged Me And Was Very Great About Me Being Gay, But She Always Encouraged Me To Follow My Musical Dreams, Which I'm Very Grateful For.

I've Been Following Him Since Space Oddity. And I've Followed Him From All Those Albums That Didn't Sell, Like The Man Who Sold The World And Things Like That. Above All, Apart From All The Glamorous Rubbish, The Music's There. Ziggy Stardust Is A Classic Album.

I Get Upset When People Knock Hip-hop, Because I Can Absolutely See The Musicality In It. These Days, When I'm Listening To Records By Hip-hop Artists, I Hear The Production. It's Just Astounding How Great The Productions Have Become.

I Never Really Made A Full Album In Los Angeles Before.

Unless You Show Off You're Not Going To Get Noticed.

It Took A Child. It Took A Child With A Blood Transfusion Not Only To Wake Me Up, But To Wake America Up, Basically. I Mean, I Read About His Plight In A Doctor's Office In New York In A Magazine.
