Quote

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.

I find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don't know where I'm going to take my career.

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.

Image
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
Image
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.

I'm not a great collaborator, to tell the truth.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.

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.

I went to prison, I paid my bill.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.

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.

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.

I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.

My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.

I hope it really comes off. It would make my dad really proud. (about the song for the coming 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece)

I got to say hello to Snoop Dogg. I got to, I was being barged out of the way by his bodyguards but I got to say hello to him which was cool.

[Music From the Edge of Heaven] wasn't really an album at all. The band had made the decision to release an LP and then split up. We wanted to go out with a bang in Britain and the rest of the world by having a single that was four songs, not just one song. But we couldn't do that over here because we couldn't release a single without an album.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

[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.
