Quote

I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.

I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.

I do think that Live Aid (1985) (TV) was a great thing, it focused people, I think it showed young kids the way in many respects and I think a lot of people are still inspired by what happened in the mid-Eighties.

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.

All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.

I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.

I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
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.

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

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

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
People have speculated about my sexuality for years and years. They are obviously interested in my sex life. Fine. Let them speculate. I'm not going to put them right one way or the other.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
Image
[Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up. We wanted to go out with a bang in Britain and the rest of the world by having a single that was four songs, not just one song. But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.

No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.

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
Both of us knew the band had run its course. We were both unhappy doing it, but I think the way Andrew [Ridgeley] was being treated as the less important half of the duo had finally taken its toll on him.

Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.

The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.

The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
