Obviously, [Wham!] made me a lot more comfortable as a musician. I was very confident that I would become a successful musician, but I had no idea I would be a celebrity.

We both [me and Andrew Ridgeley ] knew that splitting up was the right thing to do, and there was no animosity between us at all.

There's something deep inside of me. There's someone else I've got to be.

The main downside was that it [fame] happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.

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.

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
