People have speculated about my sexuality for years and years. They are obviously interested in my sex life. Fine. Let them speculate. I'm not going to put them right one way or the other.

I can't talk about Kathy [Jeung] anymore, because she doesn't want me to talk about her, and I'm not even sure that it's an ongoing relationship.

The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.

In the rest of the world we had had two albums that were successful, so those two albums' hits and this new four-single package made up an album called Wham! The Final, which is basically greatest hits. We couldn't have done a greatest hits over here, because we'd only done one hit album.

Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.

When Andrew [Ridgeley] first met my family, he heard my mom calling me Yorgos. He just abbreviated it to Yog, and unfortunately it stuck. I hated it is a teenager. It was not the most glamorous-sounding name in the world.

I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.

Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.

I had a very important personal point to make with this song [I Want Your Sex]. I just hated the idea that lust and forbidden excitement could only come with sleaze and strangers.

Image
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important.

Both of us knew the band had run its course. We were both unhappy doing it, but I think the way Andrew [Ridgeley] was being treated as the less important half of the duo had finally taken its toll on him.

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.

I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
