My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.

Freedom. I will not give you up.

Andrew [Ridgeley] and I had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. We just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. Instead of that, we got a record contract. It was just an incredibly lucky break.

I don't know what age the people who review my concerts reached puberty, I don't know if people in America reach puberty a lot later than they do in England or something like that, but the majority of those people are in their late teens and early twenties.

I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.

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

Both of us knew the band had run its course. We were both unhappy doing it, but I think the way Andrew [Ridgeley] was being treated as the less important half of the duo had finally taken its toll on him.
