(How about men swooning over you?) Well, I'm flattered that anyone likes me and what I do-as long as they dig my music, too. I've been involved in theater so I'm used to [various] sexual orientations. I'm very comfortable with everybody. I also grew up with a very culturally diverse family, with my parents being Greek Orthodox. I'm cool with everyone.
