More quotes by George Michael
I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.
George Michael
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
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)
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
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.
George Michael
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
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
I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like looking at myself because I don't particularly like what I see.
George Michael
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
George Michael
[My mother] pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn't work out, I would have something to fall back 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
This stuff [marijuana] keeps me sane and happy. I'd say it's a great drug - but obviously it's not very healthy.
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'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
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
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
I couldn't change anything without changing the end position, and I'm perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it's left me here.
George Michael
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
I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.
George Michael
