[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.

More quotes by George Michael
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
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
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
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael
I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.
George Michael
I really have no plans for any kind of career in TV or anything, but if I wanted to become good at it, I could. But I don't really think it's in the cards.
George Michael
[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.
George Michael
Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.
George Michael
[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
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
My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.
George Michael
Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.
George Michael
We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
I hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
George Michael
I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.
George Michael
I am a political person, though not with a big P.
George Michael
I went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael
I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
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
