As I became George professionally and everyone called me George, Yog became the name that people who knew me from before started to use. It became more valuable to me.

More quotes by George Michael
It's the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn't you say?
George Michael
I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.
George Michael
You'd be surprised how young 25-year-old girls can sound when they want to scream. It isn't that young an audience, and it really frustrates me when I read the word prepubescent in my reviews. Even the ones that started following me with Wham! are in their late teens by now.
George Michael
Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.
George Michael
Only time will set you free, just like me
George Michael
I do think that Live Aid (1985) (TV) was a great thing, it focused people, I think it showed young kids the way in many respects and I think a lot of people are still inspired by what happened in the mid-Eighties.
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
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
Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.
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
The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.
George Michael
I always knew I was attractive to girls just from the point of view that they liked me.
George Michael
The thing that's weird is that we thought it was funny. We expected people to get the joke - that we [with Andrew Ridgeley] were two guys really making asses of ourselves.
George Michael
Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.
George Michael
People have speculated about my sexuality for years and years. They are obviously interested in my sex life. Fine. Let them speculate. I'm not going to put them right one way or the other.
George Michael
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
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
All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.
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'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
