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.
Quote by -George Michael
I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.
Quote by -George Michael
I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.
Quote by -George Michael
I would advise any gay person that being out in the real sense can never happen too soon.
Quote by -George Michael
Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.
Quote by -George Michael
With pop stars or film stars, we become the object of people's self-definition, as well as the object of sexual definition.
Quote by -George Michael
Your political system is actually too democratic. The fact that Americans vote on every bill and proposition can prolong bigotry indefinitely, especially where it is aimed at minority groups.
Quote by -George Michael
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
Quote by -George Michael
The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.
Quote by -George Michael
In terms of my work, I've never been reticent in terms of defining my sexuality. I write about my life.
Quote by -George Michael
I knew, regardless of anything else, singing in front of an orchestra was going to be inspirational. It would feed me.
Quote by -George Michael
The fact I had my father as an adversary was such a powerful tool to work with. I subconsciously fought him to the degree that I drove me to be one of the most successful musician in the world.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -George Michael
I know that I sound self-satisfied, and I know that I've got an ego, but I don't have an ego problem.
Quote by -George Michael
It's almost required with major artists that there's some duality. And I've got duality everywhere.
Quote by -George Michael
I was brought up when media still kept totally away from violence when it came to children. I don't think it would have made me scared of violence, but I find it repulsive.
Quote by -George Michael
I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?
Quote by -George Michael
Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.
Quote by -George Michael
I realised those things my ego needed - fame and success - were going to make me terribly unhappy. So I wrenched myself away from that. I had to. 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.
Quote by -George Michael
I never really told my parents that I wanted to be a pop star or anything. They just knew that I was totally obsessed with music. Funnily enough, my father always used to say that he didn't think I could sing.
Quote by -George Michael
Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.
Quote by -George Michael
There are so many things and so many aspects to gay life that I've discovered and so many things to write about. I have a new life, and I have a new take on dance music because of that life.
Quote by -George Michael
I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying.
Quote by -George Michael
The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not.
Quote by -George Michael
Is my body a temple, or is my life a temple? I'm definitely in the latter category, and I think my life has been better since thinking that way.
Quote by -George Michael
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
Quote by -George Michael
I've achieved what every artist wants, which is that some of their work will outlive them.
Quote by -George Michael
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
Quote by -George Michael
It takes so much strength to say to your ego, 'You know what? You're going to keep me lonely, so I have to ignore you.'
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -George Michael
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
