My life could have been so grim really, really grim.

My mobile rang around lunchtime one day, and it was George Michael. He wanted to come in on Friday. We were like, 'okay, if that's what you want'. And he was a very good guest. That's a real exception to the rule.

My parents grew up working class, but in that way that working class families do, they spent a fortune on education to better me.

An awful lot of female celebrities are very beautiful whereas a lot of male celebrities are not so hot.

I am camp. Lots of gay men can't cope with their campness. They are in denial about it.

The higher your profile becomes, the more aware you are that people out there might hate you.

One of the great things about being gay and out is that the papers couldn't care less about your love life.
