[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.

I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.
George Michael
Image
I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
George Michael
Image
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important.

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.

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

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

[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.

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
Image
I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
George Michael
Image
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.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

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

I'm the luckiest writer on earth.

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
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.

I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

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.
