Quote

I don't really feel I deserve something if I haven't had to fight for it. It's not a conscious attitude, and it's stupid and wrong. Sometimes you do deserve things without having to put yourself through agony.

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.

Image
I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

Image
I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud. (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)

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

I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.

Andrew [Ridgeley] and I had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. We just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. Instead of that, we got a record contract. It was just an incredibly lucky break.

Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.

The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.

Image
This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.

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

Image
By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

Image
I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.

This was absolutely an attack on [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair, principally, and the perspective which is really predominant in Europe right now that he's not questioning enough of Mr. Bush's policies.

Image
A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the I Want Your Sex theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.

I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.

Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.

Image
I'd never touch anything. I think it's foolhardy to play around with the face that you've been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.

I do think that Live Aid (1985) (TV) was a great thing, it focused people, I think it showed young kids the way in many respects and I think a lot of people are still inspired by what happened in the mid-Eighties.

I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?

I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
