“I'm 10-12 years into life as an out gay man, and I'm a different person. I think there are things about my journey that might be useful to other people, and coming up with a hit record on its own doesn't seem to be enough anymore.”

“I'd been out to a lot of people since 19. I wish to God it had happened then. I don't think I would have the same career - my ego might not have been satisfied in some areas - but I think I would have been a happier man.”

“Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.”

“You can't have personal investors anymore because it's too expensive, so you have to have corporate investment or a lot of rich people.”

“I'd rather the league put me out of my misery than look like a quitter and come out and say, 'I don't want to play football anymore.'”

“In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore.”
