More quotes by George Michael

Image
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
Image
I think I'm getting there, but it's very hard to perform at my absolute peak when an awful lot of people come just to make their presence known, when the lights go down and all you can hear is people screaming.
George Michael
Image
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
Image
Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
George Michael
Image
I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
George Michael
Image
Satire is used for political purposes all the time, but obviously there's a time and a place. I think in the current climate, it can be very difficult to speak your mind, but sometimes, I believe, we're all in danger and I think this discussion needs to be widened.
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.
George Michael
Image
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
George Michael
Image
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
George Michael
Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
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
I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
George Michael
Image
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
George Michael
Image
50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.
George Michael
Image
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
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
Everything was meant to wind people up [in Make It Big ]. I don't know why we had this great pleasure in winding people up, but we really did think they would get the joke. And it backfired on us.
George Michael
Image
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
George Michael
Image
[My mother] pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn't work out, I would have something to fall back on.
George Michael
Image
I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
