Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.

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)

[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
Everything was meant to wind people up [in Make It Big ]. I don't know why we had this great pleasure in winding people up, but we really did think they would get the joke. And it backfired on us.

No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.

In the rest of the world we had had two albums that were successful, so those two albums' hits and this new four-single package made up an album called Wham! The Final, which is basically greatest hits. We couldn't have done a greatest hits over here, because we'd only done one hit album.

I'd never touch anything. I think it's foolhardy to play around with the face that you've been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.

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.

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
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 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.

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.

The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.
George Michael
Image
By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.

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.

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.

Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.

We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.

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.

[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.
