Everything I Think In Life Is About

I Just Go In My Back Garden. It's The Only Place Where People Don't Come And Bother You.

My Family Knew I Was Gay When I Was 15, Long Before I Got Famous. But It's A Very Different Thing Coming Out To Your Family And Coming Out To The Universe. That's A Big Step. Maybe Without Me, There Wouldn't Be Adam Lambert. Without Bowie, There Wouldn't Be Me. Without Quentin Crisp, There Wouldn't Have Been Bowie. So Everything Is Part Of A Big Daisy Chain.

I Was About 16 When Punk Started To Happen. It Was So Exciting. You Had A Social Depression Going On In The U.k. There Was A Sanitation Strike. London Was Really Grim, Gray. You Had Margaret Thatcher Coming In. It Was A Really Revolutionary Time.

You're Lucky If You Reach The Point Where You Go, "ok, I Have A Wonderful Life ...i Fly Around The World, Stay In Beautiful Places, People Are Generally Quite Sweet To Me, What's To Complain About?" But I Think You Have To Get There... And It's Taken Me The Best Part Of 54 Years To Reach That Point Where I'm Like, "i'm Very Lucky, I'm Lucky, I'm Blessed" - All Of Those Things. I Wish I Could Impart That To Other People But I Think When You're Young, You Just Don't Listen.

The World Is Less Homophobic, Depending On Where You Are In The World... As A Gay Man I Feel Very Strongly About Those Issues Around The World - There've Been Huge Changes And Developments, But There Are Still Places Where Things Are Scary.
