On Madonna: She's A Gay Man Trapped

For Me, Touring Is About Looking After Myself.

My Mother And Father Were Fantastic, Very Active. I Find It Difficult To Say This, But I'm Quite A Loving Person And I've Always Been Loving To My Friends. In The Long Run, That Pays Off. I'm Very Interested In Other People, And If You Are, They're Interested In You.

Every Freak Has A Mother. When I Met Marilyn Manson I Was Struck By How Nice He Was. People Are Rarely As Weird As You Anticipate. Except For Courtney Love-who Reminded Me Of That Mad Snake In The Jungle Book.

What Happened During The Previews Of 'taboo' [musical] Was That It Was The First Time I'd Ever Been Written About As A Great Song-writer - I Cried. I Absolutely Wept, Because It Wasn't The Usual Stuff Like, "oh, He Was A Drug Addict And He Did This And That..." It Was Really Looking At The Music And It Was Really Complimentary. It Was A Huge Thing.

I Enjoy The Freedom Of Living Alone And Not Having Anyone Interfere With My Belongings. I Mean, I'm Quite A Selfish Human Being. I Think Being In The Public Eye And Growing Up, It's Made Me Quite Selfish In Some Respects. I Can Be Extremely Generous With Friends, But In Relationships I Can Be Quite Mean In Terms Of My Time And My Affections. I Take People For Granted, And I'm Trying Not To Do That.
