George Michael Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von George Michael:

I try very hard to thank my lucky stars and keep it all in proportion and perspective, but it can be very tiring having a smiley face all day.

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

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.

George Michael

I define my sexuality in terms of the people that I love.

George Michael

Everything was going my way. I was happily marching into the history books. Then it all just fell apart.

George Michael

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

Even though it's become a really cliched thing to see musicians working for charity, it's still effective and it still has to be done.

George Michael

I want to make a pop album - something more upbeat than my stuff was in the '90s.

George Michael

I left school at 17 and was a star by the time I was 18 - in certain parts of the world anyway.

George Michael

Celebrity and secrets don't go together. The bastards will get you in the end.

George Michael

I think the media is a real demon.

George Michael

I used to believe that George Michael was a total actor. It was self-defeating, because it made me also feel fraudulent.

George Michael

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

I'm the luckiest writer on earth.

George Michael

I'm 10-12 years into life as an out gay man, and I'm a different person. I think there are things about my journey that might be useful to other people, and coming up with a hit record on its own doesn't seem to be enough anymore.

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.

George Michael

I think for most of us, our biggest frailties are sexual.

George Michael

The press seemed to take some delight that I previously had a 'straight audience,' and set about trying to destroy that. And I think some men were frustrated that their girlfriends wouldn't let go of the idea that George Michael just hadn't found the 'right girl.'

George Michael

Of course, I want to sell this record - there's no point making it otherwise.

George Michael

I'd been out to a lot of people since 19. I wish to God it had happened then. I don't think I would have the same career - my ego might not have been satisfied in some areas - but I think I would have been a happier man.

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.

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.

George Michael

Deep down, my ego always thought that I would outlast a lot of people that I was competing against.

George Michael

I can't bear Catholicism.

George Michael

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

I spent years growing up being told what my sexuality was.

George Michael

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

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.

George Michael

I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.

George Michael

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.

George Michael

I knew, regardless of anything else, singing in front of an orchestra was going to be inspirational. It would feed me.

George Michael

It's important to me that I should be free to express myself.

George Michael

You can't have a child just to keep a relationship together, can you?

George Michael

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

George Michael

You'll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.

George Michael

I'm just not security-minded.

George Michael

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.
