There's not another drug in life that I'm glad I took but grass.

I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.

We both [me and Andrew Ridgeley ] knew that splitting up was the right thing to do, and there was no animosity between us at all.

I just feel "One More Try" is better lyrically. "Careless Whisper" was written when I was 17 years old, and I had not really experienced anything that strong in my life, so it was a bit precocious.

I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.

When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.
