“I wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.”

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

There is no such thing as a reluctant star.

I couldn’t change anything without changing the end position, and I’m perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it’s left me here.

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

Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

I can’t believe that I’ve written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn’t bother releasing music anymore.

It’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

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

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

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

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

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.

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

My mother pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn’t work out, I would have something to fall back on.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn’t expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.

A child’s course in life should be determined not by the zip code she’s born in, but by the strength of her work ethic and the scope of her dreams.

No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.

Mr. Bean is essentially a child trapped in the body of a man. All cultures identify with children in a similar way, so he has this bizarre global outreach.

All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.

Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.

My children give me a great sense of wonder. Just to see them develop into these extraordinary human beings.
