I got to say hello to Snoop Dogg. I got to, I was being barged out of the way by his bodyguards but I got to say hello to him which was cool.

More quotes by George Michael
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
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
A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the I Want Your Sex theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.
George Michael
I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?
George Michael
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
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.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
When Andrew [Ridgeley] first met my family, he heard my mom calling me Yorgos. He just abbreviated it to Yog, and unfortunately it stuck. I hated it is a teenager. It was not the most glamorous-sounding name in the world.
George Michael
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
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 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
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
George Michael
It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.
George Michael
[My mother] pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn't work out, I would have something to fall back on.
George Michael
I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.
George Michael
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
George Michael
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
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
I don't really feel I deserve something if I haven't had to fight for it. It's not a conscious attitude, and it's stupid and wrong. Sometimes you do deserve things without having to put yourself through agony.
George Michael
