I’ll not complain about your boring life, if you just leave me to mine

I have a much better relationship with the press than I did, I think because I stood my ground.

Onstage, it was always comfortable for me, because that's where I felt at home. Offstage, it was a different situation. I was still shy offstage.

And the danger is - and it's happening - is we're seeing an incredibly big rise amongst young gay people, young heterosexual people as far as catching HIV, which is, you know, in an educated country like this or in Britain, it's frightening.

My mantra is if you raise money, don't waste it.

And I trusted someone to look after me on the business side of life.

I do like Britney Spears. I think she's cute. I think she's fun. And I like her records. You know, I'm not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.
