1. 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. 2. I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
3. I've always been the porky boy in my head.
5. You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
6. I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?
8. I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.
9. I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.
11. I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
13. I've written a whole body of work that I'm incredibly proud of.
14. The trajectory of my particular soap opera with the press launched from that statement Elton made about eighteen months ago when Elton hadn't seen me for years. Elton said he thought I was really miserable for some reason. From that point on I've been trying to prove that I'm not. Unfortunately it made me incredibly vulnerable to the press.
17. If I can just live further from the spotlight I think that'll be better for all really.
18. If someone really wants to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't want to live my life worrying about it.
20. I have got other interests than just making music. I would like to follow those interests through.
21. The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction and it's total crap to pretend it's not.
23. Women seem to ignore the fact that I'm gay. I think that women really get the feeling that I understand them. I grew up with two sisters, I went out with women when I was younger. I do understand them, unfortunately.
25. My depression at the end of Wham was because I was beginning to realize I was gay, not bi.
26. My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.
28. Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end.
29. I know I have a very self-destructive tendency since my mother died, I have got to be honest.
31. Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
32. 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.
34. (on his long-term partner, Kenny Goss) Gay relationships are a bit different. I'm sure we'll be allowed to roam if we want to. But we love each other dearly.
36. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.
37. I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
39. I think for most of us, our biggest frailties are sexual.
40. I mean, I've done different things at different times that I shouldn't have done, once or twice, you know.
41. There is no such thing as a reluctant star.
43. "Parkinson" (1971) is still the only interview on British TV that means anything. Perhaps that is because he appears to realize that his guest should always be the star of the show and...He paid for dinner!
45. I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
46. It's important to me that I should be free to express myself.
47. Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
49. I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
51. I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
52. I'm not a novelty act from the '80s in most parts of the world.

58. 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.
60. I watch people who are not driven by creativity any more, and I think how dull it must be to produce the same kind of thing. If you don't feel you're reaching something new, then don't do it.
61. I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
63. I am a political person, though not with a big P.
64. I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
65. Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
67. I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
68. I'm not anti-American. I've lived with Kenny, a Texan, for six years.
70. I write about my life.
71. I do think that Live Aid (1985) 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.
72. Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
74. I'm lucky to be alive.

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