Only time will set you free, just like me
GEORGE MICHAELOnly time will set you free, just like me
GEORGE MICHAELI have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
GEORGE MICHAELI just hope that I’ll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
GEORGE MICHAELBy 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.
GEORGE MICHAELWe [with Andrew Ridgeley] didn’t expect people to take it seriously. But naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.
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 don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.
GEORGE MICHAELI’d never touch anything. I think it’s foolhardy to play around with the face that you’ve been given. To have a little snip or a tuck, I think, is really quite obscene.
GEORGE MICHAELIt’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?
GEORGE MICHAELThe whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it’s total crap to pretend it’s not.
GEORGE MICHAELI 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 MICHAELI think the media is a real demon.
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 MICHAELMy music is some of the most honest music that’s been released and I think that’s why people buy it.
GEORGE MICHAELI find it difficult enough as it is to keep some kind of normality in my life. I enjoy this experience, but I don’t know where I’m going to take my career.
