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.

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.

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.

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

I was supposed to be a real Thatcherite. Just by dint of being a first-generation immigrant and having not had money, and then suddenly having it - and getting on planes and going to Ibiza and sitting around in thongs. But actually nothing I was writing or doing was even vaguely Thatcherite.

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.
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
Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.

Image
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
[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.
George Michael
Image
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
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.

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.

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

Image
I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?
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.
