More quotes by George Michael
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
George Michael
It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.
George Michael
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.
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 am a political person, though not with a big P.
George Michael
[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.
George Michael
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
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
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.
George Michael
I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
George Michael
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
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 hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
George Michael
My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.
George Michael
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
The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.
George Michael
I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.
George Michael
It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to Wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't Wham! when we got the record contract. We were nothing we were just two friends who had written a few songs.
George Michael
