I am a political person, though not with a big P.
-
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
-
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
-
Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
-
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
-
Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!
-
People have speculated about my sexuality for years and years. They are obviously interested in my sex life. Fine. Let them speculate. I'm not going to put them right one way or the other.
-
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
-
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
-
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.
-
Freedom. I won't let you down.
-
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 also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
-
Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
-
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 was at Live Aid the original, looking like Rolf Harris for some reason. I had a really long beard that day for some reason.
-
I never had a moral problem with being gay.
-
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.
-
Everything was meant to wind people up in Make It Big. I don't know why we had this great pleasure in winding people up, but we really did think they would get the joke. And it backfired on us.
-
I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.
-
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
-
My music is some of the most honest music that's been released and I think that's why people buy it.
-
I had to walk away from America, and say goodbye to the biggest part of my career, because I knew otherwise my demons would get the better of me.
-
There is no such thing as a reluctant star.
