Things that I was writing for Wham! were a strong indication of what my future album would be like. But most people got so lost in our image and found it pretty repulsive.

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

You couldn't release the single on its own, because no one wanted it.

You can have my credit card, baby, but keep your red hot fingers off of my heart, lady.

I want the people who came to listen to have a good time as well. So it's a matter of playing a control game when all I really want to do is go out there and sing.

I don't know what age the people who review my concerts reached puberty, I don't know if people in America reach puberty a lot later than they do in England or something like that, but the majority of those people are in their late teens and early twenties.

[Wham!] totally changed my life. It would be very difficult to know how it changed me as a person; you'd have to ask other people that.
