I think the ultimate challenge is to have some kind of style and grace, even though you haven't got money, or standing in society, or formal education.

I'm sentimental about Jesus on the cross. Jesus was a Jew, and also I believe he was a catalyst, and I think he offended people because his message was to love your neighbour as yourself; in other words, no one is better than somebody else.

So he rattled a lot of people's cages.

But I also saw a lot of love and connection in the gay community at that time.
