I wouldn't marry until I was ready to have children.
George Michael
Image
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
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
I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.

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.

I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.

I was supposed to be a real Thatcherite. Just by dint of being a first-generation immigrant and having not had money, and then suddenly having it - and getting on planes and going to Ibiza and sitting around in thongs. But actually nothing I was writing or doing was even vaguely Thatcherite.

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.

Image
I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
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
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
George Michael
Image
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
George Michael
Image
I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.
George Michael
Image
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael
Image
I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I've still got some work to do.

[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 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.

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?

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.

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.
