I had a very important personal point to make with this song [I Want Your Sex]. I just hated the idea that lust and forbidden excitement could only come with sleaze and strangers.
George Michael
Image
When Andrew [Ridgeley] first met my family, he heard my mom calling me Yorgos. He just abbreviated it to Yog, and unfortunately it stuck. I hated it is a teenager. It was not the most glamorous-sounding name in the world.
George Michael
Image
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.

Image
When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.
George Michael
Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.

I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?

I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
Image
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

Image
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael
Image
Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.
George Michael
Image
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
George Michael
Image
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.
George Michael
Image
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.
George Michael
Image
I was supposed to be a real Thatcherite. Just by dint of being a first-generation immigrant and having not had money, and then suddenly having it - and getting on planes and going to Ibiza and sitting around in thongs. But actually nothing I was writing or doing was even vaguely Thatcherite.

You'd be surprised how young 25-year-old girls can sound when they want to scream. It isn't that young an audience, and it really frustrates me when I read the word prepubescent in my reviews. Even the ones that started following me with Wham! are in their late teens by now.

Image
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.

Image
It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing we were just two friends who had written a few songs.

I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.
George Michael
Image
Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.
