The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.

I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.

The main downside was that it [fame] happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.

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

We had to create an album where there wasn't one. I never listen to that album [ Music From the Edge of Heaven] because it wasn't an album.

You'd be surprised how young 25-year-old girls can sound when they want to scream. It isn't that young an audience, and it really frustrates me when I read the word "prepubescent" in my reviews. Even the ones that started following me with Wham! are in their late teens by now.

All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
