I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
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
[My father] was more than apprehensive. He didn't think I stood a chance in hell. He had no confidence in me whatsoever and was convinced that I was going to be coming to him for money when I was 40. We argued about it constantly.
George Michael
Image
Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.
George Michael
Image
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
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
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
George Michael
Image
I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
George Michael
Image
I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don't know where I'm going to take my career.
George Michael
Image
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
George Michael
Image
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
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.
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
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
Image
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
Image
I'm basically a control freak. It's not because I want to be. I'm not at all into the power play that's involved in it.
George Michael
Image
I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.
George Michael
Image
My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.
George Michael
Image
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael

My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
