More quotes by George Michael
I think part of it has got to be compensation, yes, for the fact that when I was a kid, I wasn't particularly attractive. But at the same time I don't remember ever thinking, Oh, my God, I'm such a mess I'm the ugliest sod in the class.
George Michael
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
George Michael
I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.
George Michael
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
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
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
The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
I went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael
[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.
George Michael
I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.
George Michael
Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.
George Michael
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
George Michael
I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like looking at myself because I don't particularly like what I see.
George Michael
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
George Michael
I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
George Michael
I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
George Michael
