I always wonder when it was that I was embraced.

I've always embraced everything and been open-minded about what's ahead.

The curious thing is that I embraced homosexuality with as much joy and delight as I've embraced everything else in my life.

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

I turned from my wicked ways and embraced Jesus. The next thing I knew, good times had come my way.

My whole journey has been about self-acceptance.

I have had so much at heart. Defeated, not conquered; disappointed, not discouraged. I have but to be more energetic and more faithful in the difficult and painful vocation to which my life is devoted.

It took me way beyond what I knew, into places of which I was totally scared, but as I became less frightened, I welcomed new ways of thinking and approaching something. It made me an infinitely richer person, and I think a better musician.

I know that I came into the world with what I call 'big dharma' - with a blueprint to teach self-reliance and a positive loving approach to large numbers of people all over the globe. I am ever so grateful for the circumstances of my life that allowed me to be pretty much left alone and to develop as I was so intended in this incarnation.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.
