This was absolutely an attack on [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair, principally, and the perspective which is really predominant in Europe right now that he's not questioning enough of Mr. Bush's policies.

We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.

I'm the luckiest writer on earth.

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.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

I wouldn't marry until I was ready to have children.

I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.

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.

Image
I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
George Michael

Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.

I lost my partner [Anselmo Feleppa] to HIV then it took about three years to grieve then after that I lost my mother. I felt almost like I was cursed.

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
Image
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.
George Michael
Image
I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.

Image
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.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
Image
As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

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

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.
