My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.

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.

I've done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I'm dead, so I might as well write the script.

It was like I had a curse on me. I couldn't believe how much God was piling on. There was so much death around 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.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn't expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.

I'd never touch anything. I think it's foolhardy to play around with the face that you've been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.
