You've got to be a really straight man to write a song like 'It's Raining Men.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do want people to know that the songs that I wrote when I was with women were really about women. And the songs that I've written since have been fairly obvious about men.
They had always told me that I wrote like a man.
Where does a man get inspiration to write a song like that? Well, he gets it from the landlady once a month.
One of the greatest tools you have as a songwriter is anonymity. If someone knows too much about the songwriter, they don't get to insert their own characters. I don't want the audience thinking about the gay guy who wrote the song.
After singing 'Same Love' across the nation, it's given me faith that I've underestimated the straight world.
I'm sort of a gay man trapped in a woman's body when it comes to music sometimes - it's crowded in here!
I'm straight. I. Love. Men. I love men.
I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.
You can't plan to write a great song. It just happens to you. It drops in your lap. It's the same thing with a woman.
I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.
