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

I couldn't change anything without changing the end position, and I'm perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it's left me here.

It's really difficult trying to find the line where you don't piss anybody off.

By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.

I got to say hello to Snoop Dogg. I got to, I was being barged out of the way by his bodyguards but I got to say hello to him which was cool.

Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.
