More quotes by George Michael
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
I'm looking back to a period of my life when I was badly hurt and then looking at another time when I felt I had things going for me again, so I suppose there is a theme [of the Faith album].
George Michael
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
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.
George Michael
I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.
George Michael
You couldn't release the single on its own, because no one wanted it.
George Michael
It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing we were just two friends who had written a few songs.
George Michael
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
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
[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
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn't expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
George Michael
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
George Michael
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.
George Michael
A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the I Want Your Sex theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.
George Michael
I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.
George Michael
