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.

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.

I suppose maybe if I had been an attractive child, I would have had less inclination to push my physical presence.
George Michael
-
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
George Michael
-
Sex is natural, sex is good. Not everybody does it, but everybody should.
George Michael
-
Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!
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
-
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.
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
-
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
-
The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.
George Michael
-
I just mean people who seem unavailable in the sense that they're not prepared to totally cling to anyone. I'm very attracted to people who are basically free spirits.
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 don't have joy in watching myself, whereas, actually, I quite like listening to my own music.
George Michael
-
It does bother me when they tabloids drag friends of mine into it and talk about them and lie about them. My friends have no part in it; they're not celebrities, so why should they have to accept the downside of celebrity? That worries me for a bit.
George Michael
-
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
-
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 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
-
I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.
George Michael
-
Obviously, Wham! made me a lot more comfortable as a musician. I was very confident that I would become a successful musician, but I had no idea I would be a celebrity.
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 think the media is a real demon.
