This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.
George Michael
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.
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
I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.
George Michael
I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
George Michael
Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should
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
