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.

More quotes by George Michael
I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then I'm a fool, which you've probably worked out by now.
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
It's an incredibly limited sphere those tabloids have, isn't it? Basically, they can accuse people of being gay and they can accuse people of taking drugs, but they can't get any more sensational without entering into the realm of incredibly bad taste.
George Michael
I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.
George Michael
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
[Tabloids] could call you a child molester, I suppose, but they just go for the two things they think people are most likely to believe and that will most offend yourself and your popularity. My skin hardened to all that stuff years ago.
George Michael
I was supposed to be a real Thatcherite. Just by dint of being a first-generation immigrant and having not had money, and then suddenly having it - and getting on planes and going to Ibiza and sitting around in thongs. But actually nothing I was writing or doing was even vaguely Thatcherite.
George Michael
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
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
My parents both came from very poor working-class families.
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
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
[Wham!] totally changed my life. It would be very difficult to know how it changed me as a person you'd have to ask other people that.
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
I have never thought about my sexuality being right or wrong. To me it has always been a case of finding the right person.
George Michael
This was absolutely an attack on [British Prime Minister] Tony Blair, principally, and the perspective which is really predominant in Europe right now that he's not questioning enough of Mr. Bush's policies.
George Michael
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
George Michael
I went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael
Freedom. I won't let you down.
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
