You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

In the years when HIV was a killer, any parent of an openly gay person was terrified. I knew my mother well enough that she would spend every day praying that I didn't come across that virus. She'd have worried like that.

Anybody who fights for human rights or to make this world a better place. Nurses, doctors, teachers: these are the people who deserve the credit these days.

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

I had very little fear about it, but basically, my straight friends talked me out of it. I think they thought as I was bisexual, there was no need to. But it's amazing how much more complicated it became because I didn't come out in the early days. I often wonder if my career would have taken a different path if I had.

Not many people are really that meticulous with what they do, I suppose, but I'm just a control freak and terribly afraid of failure or regret. I work very hard on these things.

I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
