This is a very fickle business. It's really about how much you value the other things in your life. I still value too many other things more than I do fame.

Mike Tyson has been accused of being a homosexual. What change do I have, you know? Everyone's in the same boat? Who could possibly care or believe anything after hearing that, really?

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

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

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

There are very few things in my life that I can't have if I want them. So when I see something that I can't have, immediately I'm obsessed by it.

[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.
