Greg, in his own words: “First I want to thank Cheryl King, actress and owner, of Stage Left Studios in Chelsea for providing the space (to shoot).”

“Being an HIV positive gay man means that I am NOT an HIV positive gay man. What I mean is, those labels don’t define me, but add brilliance to my life.”

“There’s already too much unnecessary segregation in the gay community, that can serve both a good purpose and a not so good.”

“I’m at a really peaceful stage in my 42 year life, where left and right dreams are coming true. Both as a singing artist and a New Thought leader teaching singing artists how to make their voices matter in the world.”

“If I could leave with any words of wisdom, I would say define who you are at the core, what you value and let go of any labels that you might have attached too.”

“They helped at one time, but eventually labels fall off and will then leave you with space to be who you are meant to be.”
