"I feel when I came off 'Idol' [in 2009], the music industry was in a different place. We had legends like Elton John and George Michael, but as far as gay guy pop singers on the radio, there weren't any."
"I was always 'out' [of the closet], but I had to sort of edit things or dial back certain things, because I wanted the chance to have a long career. It was a bit like the Wild West."
"No one really knew how to make it work or if it would work. There was a lot of trepidation. But it was exciting too, because it was like, 'OK, I'm just going to go for it.'"
