I knew, regardless of anything else, singing in front of an orchestra was going to be inspirational. It would feed me. -George Michael Inspirational
It's strange. At some point in your career, the situation between yourself and the camera reverses. For a certain number of years, you court it and you need it, but ultimately, it needs you more, and it's a bit like a relationship. The minute that happens, it turns you off... and it does feel like it is taking something from you. -George Michael Relationship
I had very little fear about it, but basically, my straight friends talked me out of it. I think they thought as I was bisexual, there was no need to. But it's amazing how much more complicated it became because I didn't come out in the early days. I often wonder if my career would have taken a different path if I had. -George Michael Amazing
The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not. -George Michael Business
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what's important. -George Michael Courage
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.' -George Michael Strength
Not many people are really that meticulous with what they do, I suppose, but I'm just a control freak and terribly afraid of failure or regret. I work very hard on these things. -George Michael Failure
I had been obsessed with insects and creepy-crawlies: I used to get up at five o'clock in the morning and go out into this field behind our garden and collect insects before everyone else got up, and suddenly, all I wanted to know about was music. It just seemed a very, very strange thing. -George Michael Morning
