[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.

More quotes by George Michael
My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.
George Michael
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
George Michael
I went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael
I can't talk about Kathy [Jeung] anymore, because she doesn't want me to talk about her, and I'm not even sure that it's an ongoing relationship.
George Michael
Everything was meant to wind people up [in Make It Big ]. I don't know why we had this great pleasure in winding people up, but we really did think they would get the joke. And it backfired on us.
George Michael
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
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
I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I've been hurt by people who I've had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.
George Michael
When I open my mouth and sing, the truth comes out. When I write, the truth comes out. I can't lie. That, I think, is one of the strongest elements of my music. When people talk about my writing as though I'm doing it from an accountant's perspective, it really pisses me off.
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
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael
I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.
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 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
I'm a perfectionist. It's a big pain in the ass and it takes a lot of my time, but it really is going well and I have to do my own things.
George Michael
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
George Michael
I think marriage is a good thing for children, because it gives them a feeling of security.
George Michael
I don't really feel I deserve something if I haven't had to fight for it. It's not a conscious attitude, and it's stupid and wrong. Sometimes you do deserve things without having to put yourself through agony.
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
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
