In the rest of the world we had had two albums that were successful, so those two albums' hits and this new four-single package made up an album called Wham! The Final, which is basically greatest hits. We couldn't have done a greatest hits over here, because we'd only done one hit album.

I've wondered what my sexuality might be, but I've never wondered whether it was acceptable or not. Anyway, who really cares whether I'm gay or straight?

For a while I took Ecstacy when it was not very available over here. I took it simply because it made me feel that everything was wonderful.

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.

I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.

People run on and off the stage, but usually they're removed before they get to me. It's not really frightening. There's always the possibility that someone's going to take a potshot at you; you take that risk when you perform in front of thousands of people.
