Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion.

More quotes by George Michael
I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.
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 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
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.
George Michael
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.
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 wouldn't marry until I was ready to have children.
George Michael
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
George Michael
50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.
George Michael
I didn't expect to enter into tabloid trivia or anything like that. So I suspect my perspective and a lot of my ideas changed fairly drastically. It was also rather confusing.
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
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.
George Michael
I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I've been hurt by people who I've had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.
George Michael
[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.
George Michael
I couldn't change anything without changing the end position, and I'm perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it's left me here.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
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
This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.
