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.

Freedom. I won't let you down.
George Michael
People have speculated about my sexuality for years and years. They are obviously interested in my sex life. Fine. Let them speculate. I'm not going to put them right one way or the other.
George Michael
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
George Michael
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
George Michael
I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
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 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.
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'm basically a control freak. It's not because I want to be. I'm not at all into the power play that's involved in it.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
George Michael
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
George Michael
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.
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
I think part of it has got to be compensation, yes, for the fact that when I was a kid, I wasn't particularly attractive. But at the same time I don't remember ever thinking, Oh, my God, I'm such a mess I'm the ugliest sod in the class.
George Michael
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn't expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.
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
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.
George Michael
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
