The biggest pop star in the world shouldn’t be a boring white kid from Canada – the biggest pop star in the world should be a creative black kid from Texas that doesn’t know how to come out to his family – that’s a way more interesting story, and it gives a new type of kid some hope.
I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it’s not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.
When an artist becomes pop, it’s because the people choose it. Yes, you can have that dream to be a big pop star, but it’s the audience that puts you in that position. I never had a paid marketing campaign, it was never like that.
It’s weird, man. I’ve had a weird life, and I don’t want to end up on the dole. I’m fed up with the plumbing. And I think it would be good to be a little pop star again.
There’s a difference between a pop star and an artist. Pop stars have to be perfect all the time; an artist is allowed, on occasion, to suck. And I put myself in that category because I sometimes suck. I’m not trying to please the masses. It’s not going to happen, so I don’t try.
I was always interested in writing from an early age, but it seemed so far away and inconceivable, like wanting to be an astronaut or a pop star.
I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!
I’m a rock/blues guitar player. I’m not wanting to be a pop star or anything.
The end of the animal trade would leave more time to trap or beat to death pop star wannabes.
Ideally, I would love to mix singing and acting, but you can only be a pop star for so many years. I mean, at 30 it’s a little bit sad, right?
