I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.
George Michael -
I suppose romantically there are fantasies that can still be realized. But not professionally.

The main downside was that it fame happened so quickly and I didn't have time to establish what kind of person I wanted to be.
George Michael -
I had to walk away from America, and say goodbye to the biggest part of my career, because I knew otherwise my demons would get the better of me.
George Michael -
I can't believe that I've written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn't bother releasing music anymore.
George Michael -
My dad worked in a very typical first-generation immigrant fashion - 24 hours a day for years.
George Michael -
I mean, it is the perfect situation to really love someone to death and to want to rip their clothes off at the same time, isn't it?
George Michael -
Yet "One More Try" really seemed to connect with people, which is a wonderful thing and a marvelous coincidence.
George Michael
-
I can't bear Catholicism.
George Michael -
I couldn't change anything without changing the end position, and I'm perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it's left me here.
George Michael -
Me, I don’t want any children, I don’t want responsibility. I am gay, I smoke weed and I do exactly what I want in my life because of my talent. I represent an ideal which others have had to let go and they blame me for that. Especially men.
George Michael -
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 -
Sex is natural, sex is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

Mike Tyson has been accused of being a homosexual. What change do I have, you know? Everyone's in the same boat? Who could possibly care or believe anything after hearing that, really?

I guess I was about 15. I wore glasses at the time, and I remember first girlfriend sitting on the floor at a party, one of those school parties where everyone is getting off with each other. I remember her taking my glasses off and saying something very complimentary about my eyes or whatever, and I was just so pissed off because I was convinced she was taking the piss out of me.
George Michael -
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 -
I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.
George Michael -
Marriage still means a lot more in the country I come from than it does here. I don't think there's anything to be gained by it for the couple. But for children I think it's an important thing.
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.
George Michael
-
This is a very fickle business. It's really about how much you value the other things in your life. I still value too many other things more than I do fame.
George Michael -
I've never done anything so political before. I've spent years shouting my mouth off about serious issues over dinner tables but never really had the confidence to express my views in a song.
George Michael -
I went to prison, I paid my bill.
George Michael -
By the time I was in my early teens, we were able to move into a much more middle-class area. I had a comfortable adolescence.
