I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society. I have no question in my mind about being bisexual.

~By Megan Fox ~

~By David Cameron ~

~By Nancy Kerrigan ~
It's a tough thing to know that when you're making your album, you're going to end up collaborating with, say, Wal-Mart, on your artwork. That just sucks. And the pressure behind getting the numbers real fast is, to me, dizzying.
