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

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

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

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

My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.

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.

Obviously, [Wham!] made me a lot more comfortable as a musician. I was very confident that I would become a successful musician, but I had no idea I would be a celebrity.
