More quotes by George Michael
[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.
George Michael
My American gay audience have continued to dance and sing to the music I make in a way that straight Americans haven't. I am grateful to them for that.
George Michael
I'm basically a control freak. It's not because I want to be. I'm not at all into the power play that's involved in it.
George Michael
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
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.
George Michael
I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.
George Michael
I'm the luckiest writer on earth.
George Michael
It does bother me when they [tabloids] drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.
George Michael
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
George Michael
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
George Michael
Both of us knew the band had run its course. We were both unhappy doing it, but I think the way Andrew [Ridgeley] was being treated as the less important half of the duo had finally taken its toll on him.
George Michael
Satire is used for political purposes all the time, but obviously there's a time and a place. I think in the current climate, it can be very difficult to speak your mind, but sometimes, I believe, we're all in danger and I think this discussion needs to be widened.
George Michael
I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the I Want Your Sex theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
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
Yeah, I'm going to need a leather jacket for when I'm on my hog and need to go into a controlled slide.
George Michael
