[Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up. We wanted to go out with a bang in Britain and the rest of the world by having a single that was four songs, not just one song. But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

The word that pisses me off - "prepubescent."

Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.

I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud." (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)

It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing; we were just two friends who had written a few songs.

I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
