aids fighting lives looking people seen spreading supporting tearing word
I've seen the way AIDS is tearing so many young lives apart, but I've also seen people fighting back -- spreading the word about prevention, looking after orphans, supporting each other.
beautiful country happening lets people sad stuff
You've got a beautiful country with so many beautiful people and so many beautiful things happening and stuff like that lets it down. I feel sad for them.
people
Scientology, Buddhism, the Kabbalah... if it makes people's lives better, and easier, then I'll do it. Why not? People scoffed at Christianity 2,000 years ago, didn't they?
backing consider good people pop
I don't think it's important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It's about how you project. I wouldn't consider myself to be a singer.
people
People say you've got to be OK with your own company, but tell me why?
camp easy gay history nature people pretending straight
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.
boy brand brother door friend next older people uncle whatever
I think that, to a lot of people, they don't like my brand of whatever I do. And I think that people - the ones that like me, at least - see me as their brother or their older uncle or their friend or their next door neighbour. I am the quintessential boy next door; I feel that way.
bit good looks mind people sex video watch
It's always good to get a video banned, people want to see it more. That's how it works. Mind you, it is a bit disturbing. I don't think I'd let me watch it if I was 7 years old. The video's very graphic. I have sex with two girls, and then it looks like I'm having sex with men.
based circle effect formed happens life opinion outside people
What happens is I speak to people outside of my circle of friends and they have already formed an opinion of me based on the things that people have written. That is the effect of journalism on my life, and sometimes it isn't very pleasant.
buy creative good hopefully love people power
I'm a self-obsessed son-of-a-bitch, really. Hopefully it makes for good records. People buy them, so I must be doing something right. But I'd really love it if I had the creative power to write about other people.
decide forcing opinions people pop stars
But young people don't need pop stars like myself forcing opinions down their throats. I think it's for them to decide what they are going to do, how they're going to do it and who they're going to do it with.
people purpose doing-you
I'm really, really enjoying myself, I seem to have a lot of purpose in my life. I'm enjoying what I'm doing, you know, and people are liking it. So, it's great, you know.
people want brilliant
I've got this brilliant thing where I go, 'I'm Robbie Williams', and people are interested in what I want to say - which is amazing because I'm just an idiot from Stoke-on-Trent.
couple cutting people
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.
