I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend [George Michael] - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans.

You can call me a fat, balding, talentless old queen who can't sing, but you can't tell lies about me.

Dave and I as a couple seem to be the acceptable face of gayness, and that's great. I've got to use that power to try and do what I can - or we have - to try to make the situations in Russia and Poland better.

I was never told a thing about sex. So I was very naive, as were my friends as well. But I - me so especially.

Top dog, top hat, move that muscle, move that fat.

Children are extremely important. They are the future of the world.

I've reached the stage of my life where learning is so important to me. I go through the past enough when I play my old songs on stage. And I don't mind doing that. But I want to think about the future.
