I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up professionally.

This is such a special summer holiday for me. I haven't known myself so relaxed in years.

When I started, there was something almost romantic about the notion of paparazzi. I mean, it wasn't. They were still chasing you down the road. But that guy had to put film in his camera and work out whether it was worth pressing the button to take the shot, otherwise he's got to stop and change the film. So it was like this age of innocence.

I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.

Gay icons usually have some tragedy in their lives, but I've only had tragic haircuts and outfits.

I do quite naughty things now. I do like to be a bit sexy.
