It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?

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
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.

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

Image
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
George Michael
Image
When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.

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

When someone is always going to be there for you. I meet people like that all the time, but I have this unfortunate attraction to people I think I have to fight to become friends with.

Image
[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.

By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

Image
Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.

Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.

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.

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.

Image
I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like looking at myself because I don't particularly like what I see.
George Michael
Image
Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.

[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.
