Everything Was Going My Way.

[my Father] Was More Than Apprehensive. He Didn't Think I Stood A Chance In Hell. He Had No Confidence In Me Whatsoever And Was Convinced That I Was Going To Be Coming To Him For Money When I Was 40. We Argued About It Constantly.

It Does Bother Me When They [tabloids] Drag Friends Of Mine Into It And Talk About Them And Lie About Them. My Friends Have No Part In It; They're Not Celebrities, So Why Should They Have To Accept The Downside Of Celebrity? That Worries Me For A Bit.

I Don't Really Feel I Deserve Something If I Haven't Had To Fight For It. It's Not A Conscious Attitude, And It's Stupid And Wrong. Sometimes You Do Deserve Things Without Having To Put Yourself Through Agony.

I'm Basically A Control Freak. It's Not Because I Want To Be. I'm Not At All Into The Power Play That's Involved In It.

The Wham! Thing Was, As I Said, Very Confusing, And Much Of Our Image Was Totally Fake.
