George Michael Quotations | Page 2

I know I have a very self-destructive tendency since my mother died, I have got to be honest.

I'm not a novelty act from the '80s in most parts of the world.

You can't imagine what it's like playing to people who have been loyal to you for 25 years and haven't seen you for 15.

The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.

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.

I watch people who are not driven by creativity any more, and I think how dull it must be to produce the same kind of thing. If you don't feel you're reaching something new, then don't do it.

It's only when the kids are in their late twenties that families really face up to what they are.

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.

There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all you'll find.

I probably owe an apology to fans that have been supportive and have not wanted to believe any of this was true. It takes a little bit of the sheen off of the mystique.
