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.

I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.

I thought I had fallen in love with a woman a couple of times. Then I fell in love with a man, and realised that none of those things had been love.

The word that pisses me off - "prepubescent."

It was like I had a curse on me. I couldn't believe how much God was piling on. There was so much death around me.

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

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