One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like not to change.
I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.
You look at a herd of cattle and well they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals.
One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us feeling the world is unpredictable enough try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal lives.
I think change is possible but only for individuals who were never truly gay in the first place and who have a strong personal motivation to recover their heterosexuality.
The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions. You can argue yourself blue in the face and you're not going to change each other's minds. It's a waste of your time and my time.
I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change - within himself not on the outside.
It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
The 'self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self image and you change the personality and the behavior.
In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat or cure or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?
