When I came up, there was room for the new and the old. For every new artist, an old one didn't have to be pushed out.

Every trick is an old one, but with a change of players, a change of dress, it comes out as new as before.

Many people mistakenly think a new technology cancels out an old one.

When I came out, I said, 'I'm going to be a proud gay artist.' I'm not going to be Melissa Etheridge. But she's a goddess!

I came out to L.A. to be a songwriter and not an artist, and I'm so excited because I always secretly wanted to be an artist.

In 20 years I had sold more records for RCA than any artist except Elvis Presley.
