More quotes by 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'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
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'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
Yet [One More Try ] really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
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 hate the actual traveling, but I like playing.
George Michael
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
George Michael
I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
When someone is always going to be there for you. I meet people like that all the time, but I have this unfortunate attraction to people I think I have to fight to become friends with.
George Michael
My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.
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
Basically I see that song as a bunch of images which I threw together to represent the fact that I was seeing one girl and then I started seeing another, and it was just the guilt in between those two periods. The ballads I've written since have been about things that really hurt me.
George Michael
I thought [first girlfriend] was trying to make a fool out of me. Then I found out that she wasn't, and we went out. That's a very good example of how little confidence I had.
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
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
It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate 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
