Kiss & Tell Quotes

“I don’t want people only to know me as Iranian, or as gay. I’m a whole person. I want to make music that brings people together. Good music, you know? Stuff that’ll stand the test of time.

“Everyone acts like they knew what our relationship was like. They didn’t see our fights. They didn’t see the way Aidan got jealous when I was on tour, the way he texted me every time a tabloid wrote something about me, about him, about us.”
