I'm more liberated and happy than I've been my whole life. I'm just happy.

I've definitely, you know, been with women. And I've had great relationships with them where I was definitely in love. It's just I grew to a point where deep inside I knew that I could never truly have a relationship with a woman. I don't know if they ever suspected. It was never brought up.

It's nice not to have to live a double life.

In Mississippi, you don't admit that you're gay. It's just an awkward thing down South, which is sad.

I love cooking. It's one of my favorite things to do. To share my parents' recipes that I grew up with is just something very special to me.

Somebody might get criticized for doing some movie that totally sucks, then turn around and be incredible. Every actor goes through that, not just musicians who act.
