George Michael

The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.

For some strange reason, my gay life didn't get easier when I came out. Quite the opposite happened, really.

There are so many things and so many aspects to gay life that I've discovered and so many things to write about. I have a new life, and I have a new take on dance music because of that life.

I write about my life.

If someone really wants to hurt you, they'll find a way whatever. I don't want to live my life worrying about it.

Is my body a temple, or is my life a temple? I'm definitely in the latter category, and I think my life has been better since thinking that way.

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.

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

In the years when HIV was a killer, any parent of an openly gay person was terrified. I knew my mother well enough that she would spend every day praying that I didn't come across that virus. She'd have worried like that.

No one wants to look wholesome at 21!

I know that I sound self-satisfied, and I know that I've got an ego, but I don't have an ego problem.

With pop stars or film stars, we become the object of people's self-definition, as well as the object of sexual definition.
