50 percent of the people I perform for have come to scream at me and the other 50 percent have come to listen to the music.
George Michael
Image
[My father] was more than apprehensive. He didn't think I stood a chance in hell. He had no confidence in me whatsoever and was convinced that I was going to be coming to him for money when I was 40. We argued about it constantly.

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 have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.

It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.
George Michael
Image
I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
George Michael
Image
[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
Image
Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.
George Michael
Image
I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.
George Michael
Image
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important.
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
I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
George Michael
Image
I find it too terrifying to go out in L.A.
George Michael
Image
Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.
