I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

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

When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.

It's really difficult trying to find the line where you don't piss anybody off.

Stupid cupid keeps on calling me, but I see nothing in his eyes. I miss my babe

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

I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.

I don't go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.

If I can just live further from the spotlight I think that'll be better for all really.

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

I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.

You can have my credit card, baby, but keep your red hot fingers off of my heart, lady.

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

The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.

There are things about my mum that I only realised later, things that make me admire her.

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

I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.

My depression at the end of Wham! was because I was beginning to realise I was gay, not bi.

Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!

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

Apart from some of the videos and haircuts, I don't think I've made any wrong moves, ha ha!

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

I know I have a very self-destructive tendency since my mother died, I have got to be honest.

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.

I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

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

I don't have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.

It's only when the kids are in their late twenties that families really face up to what they are.

I have got other interests than just making music. I would like to follow those interests through.

It's almost required with major artists that there's some duality. And I've got duality everywhere.

Deep down, my ego always thought that I would outlast a lot of people that I was competing against.

My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

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

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

The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.

Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.

In terms of my work, I've never been reticent in terms of defining my sexuality. I write about my life.

Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.

I've been very well remunerated for my talents over the years so I really don't need the public's money.

I don't really have any traits that I deplore. I get annoyed with myself sometimes, but that's about it.

I mean, I've done different things at different times that I shouldn't have done, once or twice, you know.

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

The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.

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

If someone really wants to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't want to live my life worrying about it.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
