“People change. I wouldn't like to be accountable for the interviews I've done, or the person I was when I was 20, 21.”

“People say you've got to be OK with your own company, but tell me why?”

“I still find trusting people quite hard. I've got a couple of mates that I do let in, but that's it. It's something I've got to sort out - I cut people off.”

“If you want to sell the most records, duet with me. If you need someone to come in and bless your record sales, I'm your man.”

“I'm a born entertainer. When I open the fridge door and the light goes on, I burst into song.”

“There is a history of gay people pretending to be straight. I want to balance the sides. I'm a straight person pretending to be gay. I've had a lot of people to imitate. It's easy when you're British; we're camp by nature, anyway.”

“I'm not educated. I left school when I was 16, with no qualifications.”

“There aren't many great adverts for marriage or parenthood. It always looks so stressful, and that's what I've been scared of. What you don't realise is how much you're going to get back.”

“I did the rock 'n roll-pop cliche of getting burnt out. I'm not the first person that happened to, and I'm sure I won't be the last.”

“When people come out of rehab, they usually go to secondary rehab for another six months and then enter back into society gradually. But I came out and did Top Of The Pops straight away!”

“Do I think I'm a national treasure? I don't see why not? I don't see why I shouldn't be. I'm a good lad, really.”

“I've been watching what I eat. When I was putting on all the weight, I was drinking Guinness and not eating. I didn't have room to because I was drinking all the time.”

“There is a lot of snobbery towards pop music, to me and pop in general - it's kind of a despised art form.”

“Depression isn't about, 'Woe is me, my life is this, that and the other', it's like having the worst flu all day that you just can't kick.”

“On an emotional level, success in America would be terrible for me; it would be insane. I really, seriously, never want to be famous here.”

“ברמה הרגשית, הצלחה באמריקה תהיה נוראית עבורי; זה יהיה מטורף. אני באמת, ברצינות, אף פעם לא רוצה להיות מפורסם כאן.”

“בלוס אנג'לס, אני מרגיש מחובר להמולה של מוזרות. ואני נהנה מזה; אני אוהב מוזרות.”

“אני נהנה מעירום. אני קצת נטוריסט בנשמתי.”

“אני עדיין מחפש את החוקים של מה זה מוזיקת פופ ומה לא.”

“אני לא חושב שזה חשוב להיות כל כך טוב בשירה. אני חושב שאנשים שטובים בלשיר שרים קולות רקע לכוכבי פופ. זה לגבי איך אתה זורח. לא הייתי מחשיב את עצמי כזמר.”
