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'm looking back to a period of my life when I was badly hurt and then looking at another time when I felt I had things going for me again, so I suppose there is a theme [of the Faith album].

Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.

Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.

I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.

I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing we were just two friends who had written a few songs.

I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.

I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.

I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.

[Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up. We wanted to go out with a bang in Britain and the rest of the world by having a single that was four songs, not just one song. But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.

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

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.

[My mother] pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn't work out, I would have something to fall back on.

All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.

My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
