    Gay unions, what is that about? I haven't been invited to any ceremonies, and I wouldn't go anyway. The idea that gay people have to mimic what obviously doesn't work for straight people any more... I think is a bit tragic. I am looking forward to gay divorces.

I think being in the public eye and growing up, it's made me quite selfish in some respects.

    I'm not someone who can sing anything... And my favorite singers aren't people whose voice you would say is amazing.
