I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
George Michael
Image
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.

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.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.

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.

I am a political person, though not with a big P.
George Michael

I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
George Michael
Image
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.
George Michael
Image
I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.
George Michael
Image
We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.
George Michael
Image
When Andrew [Ridgeley] first met my family, he heard my mom calling me Yorgos. He just abbreviated it to Yog, and unfortunately it stuck. I hated it is a teenager. It was not the most glamorous-sounding name in the world.
George Michael
Image
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.

It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
George Michael
Image
I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.

Freedom. I won't let you down.

I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.

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.
