Image
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
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.
George Michael
Image
I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I've been hurt by people who I've had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.
George Michael
Image
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
George Michael
Image
Be good to yourself 'cause nobody else has the power to make you happy.
George Michael
Image
I wouldn't marry until I was ready to have children.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
I want the people who came to listen to have a good time as well. So it's a matter of playing a control game when all I really want to do is go out there and sing.
George Michael
Image
I didn't expect to enter into tabloid trivia or anything like that. So I suspect my perspective and a lot of my ideas changed fairly drastically. It was also rather confusing.
George Michael
Image
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
George Michael
Image
It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
George Michael
Image
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
George Michael
Image
This was absolutely an attack on [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair, principally, and the perspective which is really predominant in Europe right now that he's not questioning enough of Mr. Bush's policies.
George Michael
Image
The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.
George Michael
Image
No fantasies, I don't think. Most of my fantasies have already been realized.
