I didn't really think that it would be as easy as this. I did believe that the album [Faith] had a chance, because I though the material was strong enough, but things have just gone like clockwork. It's been incredible.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like looking at myself because I don't particularly like what I see.

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.

[My father] was not a musical man.

The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.

When I write and produce something, I know exactly how I want it to sound, and I have a very strong interpretation of it. I can't really think of anyone at the moment I'd particularly like to play a duet with. You never know, though, I might receive an offer tomorrow and say, "Yeah, that'd be great." But it's not something that's on my mind.
