More quotes by 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
I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
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 thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.
George Michael
You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
George Michael
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
George Michael
Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.
George Michael
I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
George Michael
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
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
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
George Michael
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
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
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
George Michael
I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
George Michael
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
[My mother] is much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs - by the time I was about 17 - she started to believe in me, musically.
George Michael
You'd be surprised how young 25-year-old girls can sound when they want to scream. It isn't that young an audience, and it really frustrates me when I read the word prepubescent in my reviews. Even the ones that started following me with Wham! are in their late teens by now.
George Michael
I'm a perfectionist. It's a big pain in the ass and it takes a lot of my time, but it really is going well and I have to do my own things.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
