More quotes by George Michael
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
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
In the rest of the world we had had two albums that were successful, so those two albums' hits and this new four-single package made up an album called Wham! The Final, which is basically greatest hits. We couldn't have done a greatest hits over here, because we'd only done one hit album.
George Michael
I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I've still got some work to do.
George Michael
It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.
George Michael
I think I'm getting there, but it's very hard to perform at my absolute peak when an awful lot of people come just to make their presence known, when the lights go down and all you can hear is people screaming.
George Michael
I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
George Michael
I think part of it has got to be compensation, yes, for the fact that when I was a kid, I wasn't particularly attractive. But at the same time I don't remember ever thinking, Oh, my God, I'm such a mess I'm the ugliest sod in the class.
George Michael
I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.
George Michael
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
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
George Michael
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
Freedom. I won't let you down.
George Michael
[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.
George Michael
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
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 went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael
This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.
George Michael
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
