Teacher, there are things that I don’t want to learn.
GEORGE MICHAELTeacher, there are things that I don’t want to learn.
GEORGE MICHAELI wouldn’t marry until I was ready to have children.
GEORGE MICHAELStars 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.
GEORGE MICHAELAt a certain age I just stopped arguing. I realized that there was no way [my father] could see, because for him to approve of what I was doing, he would have to have some belief in me as a musician.
GEORGE MICHAELI 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 MICHAELThere is no such thing as a reluctant star.
GEORGE MICHAELBecause of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.
GEORGE MICHAELI had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.
GEORGE MICHAELI 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 MICHAELI have two sisters. My father is Greek and comes from a family of seven. My mother is English and comes from a family of five.
GEORGE MICHAELI have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.
GEORGE MICHAELI 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 MICHAELMy 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 MICHAELIt’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?
GEORGE MICHAELI have to believe that somebody up there thinks I’ve still got some work to do.
GEORGE MICHAELI don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.
