Quote

I just hope that I'll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.

I think I've gotten everything I want out of the last years, and I still feel like I have a lot of options open to me.
George Michael
Image
I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.
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
Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.
George Michael
Image
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.

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.

Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should
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
You couldn't release the single on its own, because no one wanted it.
George Michael

Only time will set you free, just like 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.
George Michael
Image
I have no doubt that the music I release next will be better.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
I'm looking back to a period of my life when I was badly hurt and then looking at another time when I felt I had things going for me again, so I suppose there is a theme [of the Faith album].
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.

Yog is an abbreviation - my real name is Yorgos, which is Greek for George.
George Michael
Image
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
Image
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
George Michael
Image
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.
