This was absolutely an attack on [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair, principally, and the perspective which is really predominant in Europe right now that he's not questioning enough of Mr. Bush's policies.

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

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.

I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.

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.

The word that pisses me off - "prepubescent."
