I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?
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
The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.
George Michael
Image
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
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.

Image
I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud. (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)

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.

Image
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
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
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
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
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
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
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
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
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.
George Michael
Image
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
George Michael
Image
You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
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.
George Michael
Image
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.
