"Yog" is an abbreviation - my real name is Yorgos, which is Greek for George.

I guess I was about 15. I wore glasses at the time, and I remember [first girlfriend] sitting on the floor at a party, one of those school parties where everyone is getting off with each other. I remember her taking my glasses off and saying something very complimentary about my eyes or whatever, and I was just so pissed off because I was convinced she was taking the piss out of me.

I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.

Take back your picture in a frame. Take back your singing in the rain. I just hope you understand sometimes the clothes do not make the man.

I'm perfectly happy to admit that insecurity. It doesn't bother me. It's there, just the same as the color of my eyes is there. I'm never going to get rid of it. I'm not going to wake up one morning and really like the way I look, but as long as other people like the way I look, that's fine.

It's almost required with major artists that there's some duality. And I've got duality everywhere.

We both [me and Andrew Ridgeley ] knew that splitting up was the right thing to do, and there was no animosity between us at all.
