I got out there and I was so freaking nervous as I’m sure you can imagine I would be. I don’t think I’ve ever done anything of that magnitude, and I looked out into the audience and saw one person standing up looking at me with total peace on her face, and it was Janelle Monae and it really touched me. I lost all my nervousness and just sang it to her, and then everybody else rose to follow her, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget that.

I had a dream that a bunch of people were making jokes about how the economy was so bad that gay people couldn't afford closets and were just "in the corner"

Aaaaahahahaha! Nah, but seriously.
