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 -
Teacher, there are things that I don't want to learn.
George Michael
-
I am a political person, though not with a big P.
George Michael -
I also think I could probably repeat the commercial success; whether I want to or not is a different matter. I think there is still better work inside me.
George Michael -
Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!
George Michael -
I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.
George Michael -
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.

Andrew Ridgeley and I had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. We just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. Instead of that, we got a record contract. It was just an incredibly lucky break.

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 -
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 don't have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.
George Michael -
A lot of people felt that I was just tying that into the "I Want Your Sex" theme because of the AIDS thing and the prospect of the song's being banned. I thought it was a relevant point to make because of the AIDS thing. I wanted to write a song which sounded dirty but which was applicable to someone that I really cared about. That was my point.
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 -
If someone really wants to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't want to live my life worrying about it.

-
The Wham! thing was, as I said, very confusing, and much of our image was totally fake.
George Michael -
There's something deep inside of me. There's someone else I've got to be.
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 -
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.
George Michael -
I was at Live Aid the original, looking like Rolf Harris for some reason. I had a really long beard that day for some reason.
George Michael -
It's quite simple: I managed it by doing away with Wham!'s duo image. Obviously, the way I looked changed and that helped a little, but I still have a very pop image. It's a very video-friendly image. I find it a lot more real. It's a lot closer to who I am than the whole Wham! thing.
George Michael
-
I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
George Michael -
When you shake you ass, they notice fast. And some mistakes were built to last.
George Michael -
It's so easy to find someone who would walk around me like a shadow and do everything for me and never be tempted by other men, so obviously I'm not attracted by that type.
George Michael -
I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.
