"Some people didn't get it. Some people still don't get it. I read reviews sometimes and I'm like, 'Wow, that guy really doesn't fucking like me.' Like, they really don't get it, but that's cool. You've got to create some kind of stir. You've got to say something that's got to upset some people, and that's the risk-taking that makes music so fun. The real struggle is that they didn't want to play my music on the radio. We fought and we fought and I played every club. I had chicken dinner with every program director I could get my hands on. The turning point for me was the gay community. I've got so many gay fans and they're so loyal to me and they really lifted me up. They'll always stand by me and I'll always stand by them. It's not an easy thing to create a fanbase. … Being invited to play [the San Francisco Pride rally], that was a real turning point for me as an artist."

"I've seen parts of Katy Perry I shouldn't have seen. At one of her afterparties she put her pyjamas on and I don't think she was wearing anything underneath. It was like a long t-shirt kind of thing. The party was out of control. Just a thing in her hotel room, but yeah I saw something I shouldn't have seen."

"My parents really kept us anchored. I played sports on weekends — baseball, basketball — and when I sucked at those, I started playing golf and ping-pong in the garage. After I lost interest, I started singing. I was always singing to the point where my parents would shout, 'Shut up, Zac! Enough already!'"

"Years ago in America, when Botox was new, I had some squirted into my forehead and it gave me a headache. I’m not saying I’ll never do it again, but for now I strive to look for examples that show me it’s OK to age. I have to go in front of that camera now as a 36-year-old woman and be as confident as I can. I know other women can relate to that. We all face it. For me, it’s heightened, because my weight and my body and the way I look have been closely documented throughout my career. Believe me, I’ve had my moments. I have days of self-doubt, but I think the kindest thing I can do to myself is accept where my body is at. I’m done with trying to be perfect. A perfect body belongs to somebody else - and it’s not me."
