“People aren’t used to seeing a gay man portrayed [sexually] on TV. The gay male image in the media tends to be very cliché and safe… I think I got up there [at the American Music Awards] and put more energy, a little more I was attempting to interpret the lyrics of the song quite simply. I was putting on a character, putting on a persona being this kind of rock star, kind of dangerous kind of guy.”

-Adam Lambert on Ellen (Dec 1st, 2009)

“There’s the old industry idea that you should just make sexuality a non-issue, just say your private life’s your private life, and not talk about it. But that’s bullshit, because private lives don’t exist anymore for celebrities: they just don’t. I don’t want to be looking over my shoulder all the time … That’s not cool, that’s not being a rock star. I can’t do that.”

“If you ever feel different, hold your head up high. We’re artists. We’re all crazy. And that’s good-crazy!”

“I just want to play dress up and be fabulous. When you’re a kid, you do the make-believe thing — you play dress-up and pretend. That’s the child mentality, and I feel like if you’re an adult and you can adopt the child mentality to something cool, that’s what being a “rock star” is … That’s the kind of music that I want to make — music that encourages people to play make-believe, escape and have fun.”

(Adam to Rolling Stone, June 2009)
