Pop stars are so busy having a career that they don't really have a lot of time for activism.
The biggest crime in England is to rise above your station. It's fine to be a pop star. 'Oh, it's great, lots of fun, aren't they sweet, these pop stars! But to think you have anything to say about how the world should work? What arrogance!'
I wouldn't say pop stars hit on me - that's just stuff the papers make up.
I used to sit in my bedroom and think that all of my favourite pop stars go on stage, they sing, and then they do other normal stuff. I didn't know what goes on or what you let yourself in for.
The first time I arrived in Hollywood for the Grammy Awards, I thought I'd bump into people who mattered, such as Ry Cooder or Randy Newman. I was disappointed to see the people I'd always thought of as pop stars. They would charge around the stage rather than enjoy the music.
The thing about gay male pop stars is: they aren't supported by gay men. Gay men don't really support them until they've gone beyond the gay community and had success in the mainstream, so it's really challenging.
We're not pop stars. Living with success is a job; it's the music that's dear to us.
All of us '60s pop stars came from old cities which had a jazz club, a folk club, a coffee house, and an art school.
You've got Corey Feldman doing his thing, and the problem is, they're trying to be pop stars. You can't compare Salty to any of the other actors out there playing music.
I'd like to actually work with a lot of other people, and whether it's someone who is completely unknown who I love and think is a talent, maybe I'll work with them, or, like, maybe I'll work with some of the biggest pop stars and write music for them.
