More quotes by George Michael

Image
The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.
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
I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
George Michael
Image
I want the people who came to listen to have a good time as well. So it's a matter of playing a control game when all I really want to do is go out there and sing.
George Michael
Image
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
Image
Andrew [Ridgeley] and I had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. We just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. Instead of that, we got a record contract. It was just an incredibly lucky break.

You couldn't release the single on its own, because no one wanted it.
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
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 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 think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.
George Michael
Image
I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.
George Michael
Image
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
George Michael
Image
Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.
George Michael
Image
It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.
George Michael
Image
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
George Michael
Image
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
George Michael
Image
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
George Michael
Image
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
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
