Quotes

  • I've had one person saying, 'If I see you I'm gonna stab you, I'm gonna, like, axe you in the head.' I mean I understand people are upset but to threaten me with my life? This is just ridiculous.
  • Take That are an amazing group, Gary's (Gary Barlow) an amazing writer.
  • [At school, if your teacher had told the class that one kid was going to be famous, how many kids would have said it would be you?] None of them, probably. The teachers always told me I was gonna end up in prison. I was a very angry kid, even though I had a loving mum. I was angry at society.
  • [on coming out as bisexual] I'm very open about what I've done in the past but that was the easiest way to come out. I did so much other stuff that people didn't even notice.
