[My father] was not a musical man.

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.

I lost my partner [Anselmo Feleppa] to HIV then it took about three years to grieve; then after that I lost my mother. I felt almost like I was cursed.

Freedom. I will not give you up.

I had surprisingly little money when Wham! ended. You'd be very surprised how little, really, because you don't realize how much money it takes to maintain a band.

By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.
