50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.

It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.

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
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

I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.
George Michael
Image
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

Image
Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
George Michael
Image
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
George Michael
Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.

I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud. (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)
