I went to prison, I paid my bill.

When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.

[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.

[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.

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.

I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
George Michael

I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.

It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.

[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 have to believe that somebody up there thinks I've still got some work to do.

You couldn't release the single on its own, because no one wanted it.

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

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 hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.

I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
