You'd be surprised how young 25-year-old girls can sound when they want to scream. It isn't that young an audience, and it really frustrates me when I read the word "prepubescent" in my reviews. Even the ones that started following me with Wham! are in their late teens by now.

It's almost required with major artists that there's some duality. And I've got duality everywhere.

I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.

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

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 left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

I can't talk about Kathy [Jeung] anymore, because she doesn't want me to talk about her, and I'm not even sure that it's an ongoing relationship.
