[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.

More quotes by George Michael
When Andrew [Ridgeley] first met my family, he heard my mom calling me Yorgos. He just abbreviated it to Yog, and unfortunately it stuck. I hated it is a teenager. It was not the most glamorous-sounding name in the world.
George Michael
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
George Michael
I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
George Michael
I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.
George Michael
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
George Michael
I think my idea of a perfect romance is when two people really belong to each other.
George Michael
I have definitely reached the same level as Madonna in terms of sales. I'm really pleased about that.
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
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.
George Michael
I'm looking back to a period of my life when I was badly hurt and then looking at another time when I felt I had things going for me again, so I suppose there is a theme [of the Faith album].
George Michael
Still, the music was always there, and the lyrical capability was always threatening to show its head.
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
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
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
[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
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
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 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 want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
George Michael
