Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!

Freedom. I won't let you down.

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

Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.

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.

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 thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.
