I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael

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

Image
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn't expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.

Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.

[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.

Image
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.
George Michael
Image
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
George Michael
Image
Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
George Michael
Image
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
Image
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
Image
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
George Michael
Image
Freedom. I won't let you down.
George Michael
Image
We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.
George Michael
Image
I went to prison, I paid my bill.

Only time will set you free, just like me

The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.
George Michael

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