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.

It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.

I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.

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

I've been approached many times by many different people, and most people want to do something that I write and produce, and I'm just not into that.

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

I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
