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.

Artists Like Eminem Who Use Their Free Speech To Get A Point Across Are Vitally Important. There Just Aren't Many People In The World With Balls That Big And Talent That Awesome.

It Was Also Great To Have The Backstreet Boys Appear On Stage With Me Because I Have Gotten To Know Them All A Little Bit Just Recently, And Not Only Are They Great Performers, But They Also Very Hard Working Professionals And Really Nice Guys.

I Spent The Last Week Of Ryan's Life In Indiana, Indianapolis, With Jeanne And Andrea, Jeanne, His Mother, Andrea, His Sister, And Some Other Beautiful People Who Came. And It Taught Me A Lesson.

I Heard Little Richard And Jerry Lee Lewis, And That Was It. I Didn't Ever Want To Be Anything Else. I Just Started Banging Away And Semi-studied Classical Music At The Royal Academy Of Music But Sort Of Half-heartedly.

And It's One More Beer And I Don't Hear You Any More.

I Was Sitting In The Classroom Trying To Look Intelligent In Case The Teacher Looked At Me.

But Then You're Really Leaving The Men And Women Who Are Gay And Suffering Under The Antigay Laws In An Isolated Situation. As A Gay Man, I Can't Leave Those People On Their Own Without Going Over There And Supporting Them. I Don't Know What's Going To Happen, But I've Got To Go.

Oh Teacher, I Need You Like A Little Child, You Got Something In You To Drive A School Boy Wild.

When We Started, I Was Delivering Meals To People In Atlanta. We Were A Direct-care Organization. And It Was - People Needed Meals, They Needed Transport, They Needed Medication, They Needed Buddy Systems. They Had A Death Sentence. There Was Azt, And That Was Just Prolonging The Agony, Basically. Now People, Of Course, If They Are On Antiretrovirals, They Face A Lifetime Of Health, Basically. I Mean, It Doesn't - It's I Would Say In The 99 Percent Certainty Bracket That If You Are On That Medication, You Will Have A Healthy Life.

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.
