[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.

You can have my credit card, baby, but keep your red hot fingers off of my heart, lady.

[Wham!] totally changed my life. It would be very difficult to know how it changed me as a person; you'd have to ask other people that.

No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.

I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.

I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.
