Quote

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.

We [with Andrew Ridgeley] were getting so much attention and achieving such success. It never really bothered me.
George Michael
Image
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.

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.

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.

Image
[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.

[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

Both of us knew the band had run its course. We were both unhappy doing it, but I think the way Andrew [Ridgeley] was being treated as the less important half of the duo had finally taken its toll on him.

I wouldn't marry until I was ready to have children.
George Michael

All we have to see is that I don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me.

The most common misconception people have had in the past is about my own control and calculation of my career.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
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.

I am a political person, though not with a big P.
