More quotes by George Michael

Image
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
Image
I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.
George Michael
Image
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
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.
George Michael
Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
George Michael
Image
Everything was meant to wind people up [in Make It Big ]. I don't know why we had this great pleasure in winding people up, but we really did think they would get the joke. And it backfired on us.
George Michael
Image
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
George Michael
Image
[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.

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
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael
Image
[My father] was more than apprehensive. He didn't think I stood a chance in hell. He had no confidence in me whatsoever and was convinced that I was going to be coming to him for money when I was 40. We argued about it constantly.
George Michael
Image
I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
George Michael
Image
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
George Michael
Image
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
George Michael
Image
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
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.

I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
Image
My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.

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.
