All I really had was my talent. Without that I wouldn't be welcome at the White House.

I'd like to be a piano player.

For the longest time, I wanted to become a pianist. That was kinda my thing.

If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime.

I can't read music. Instead, I'd do stuff inside the piano, do harmonics and all kinds of crazy things. They used to put me in these annual piano contests down at Long Beach City College, and two years in a row, I won first prize - out of like 5,000 kids!

Plus, there were so many pianos in my house, so I couldn't really avoid it.

I remember being a little kid sitting in the living room with my brother and some friends from around the neighborhood, and I would sit at the piano and as they were running around the room doing different things and being silly, acting out, I would actually play the score for it - the music that went along with it.

Had I not become entangled with music, I would have become an author much earlier.
