George Michael
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael

George Michael
[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.
George Michael
I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?
George Michael
I was supposed to be a real Thatcherite. Just by dint of being a first-generation immigrant and having not had money, and then suddenly having it - and getting on planes and going to Ibiza and sitting around in thongs. But actually nothing I was writing or doing was even vaguely Thatcherite.
George Michael
