George Michael

"I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?"

"The whole business is built on ego, vanity, self-satisfaction, and it's total crap to pretend it's not."

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

"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."

"I don't consider Americans bullies, but I do consider the American government bullying."

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