You say your image is new, but it looks well tested.
The minute I'm in a little pain ... your rough, tough, scary bad boy image totally falls apart.
The common practice of keeping up appearances with society is a mere selfish struggle of the vain with the vain.
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
You can go out in a good movie and look bad as well.
I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can't live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that's totally fake.
There's a lot of guys in the league that make music and it's hardcore gangsta rap. None of us really live that life and you can't talk about being a thug.
With modelling, you provide an image that is fake; with acting you have to provide an image that's real.
It sucks, being perceived as a person that you're not; it sucks being hated.
There was a company that I did a photo shoot for once that manipulated the photo so much, I was like, "That's not even me." Like, what's the point? You wanted my name, and then you wanted the version of me that I'm not. I absolutely hate it.
There are a lot of pretty actresses in Hollywood who try to act tough, and the audience laughs.
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
