Quote

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
Image
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
Image
[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.

Image
We always talked [with Andrew Ridgeley] about when it would happen - we always knew that I would go on to have a solo career.

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.

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

Image
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
Image
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.

Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
George Michael
Image
I have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.
George Michael
Image
I went to prison, I paid my bill.

Image
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
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.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
I had a very important personal point to make with this song [I Want Your Sex]. I just hated the idea that lust and forbidden excitement could only come with sleaze and strangers.
George Michael
Image
I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I've still got some work to do.

Image
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.

Image
I got to say hello to Snoop Dogg. I got to, I was being barged out of the way by his bodyguards but I got to say hello to him which was cool.

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.
