I think I had a little hang on the shoulder of my company. I just felt frustrated. So I made the conscious decision to pick up the thread of thinking and focus on why I'm doing it in the first place. And what I 've understood during this time of reflection, is that I love music and that I like to play, and that' s the most important thing. I like to be an artist and I love to dress. I like to connect with my fans. So, any kind of negativity that I had vis-à-vis the company, I had to find a way to isolate my creativity and optimize that. And part of that process was switching to different business situations from where I was, letting some of the people I was working with, and figuring out what kind of situation would work best for that.

Yes, I really think so. I think the gay is totally integrated at this stage. This is not a niche, it is no longer a novelty. We are not the punchline. We are part of the dominant culture. And in fact, if you look at where we were until the arrival of the Trump administration, things really progressed wonderfully. I mean, all the legislation that's going on, all the progress that's been made – gay marriage and all the protections we've got, and even things we're starting to talk to the trans community. And suddenly, our political situation changed and they tried to cancel everything. So it's scary to see the pendulum go up and it's a little discouraging, but I think it's making everyone aware of what to do and, probably, in the long run, that we strengthens. I hope that in the next elections, this will allow us to unify a little more.
