When I was outed by Perez Hilton as bisexual, I suddenly started being asked personal questions, which was really difficult.

It can be difficult navigating the line between tabloid gossip and authenticity.

I even asked Eleanor Roosevelt difficult questions and she loved it.

I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.

When you have a lot of people telling you what you are and perceiving you in a certain way, it's difficult to find your own identity.

The accolades don't nourish me - being with loved ones and my dogs does.
