George Michael’s 5 most popular quotes
- I’ve done too many stupid things for there not to be movies made about me when I’m dead, so I might as well write the script.

- I just hope that I’ll stay around musically for as long as I can. I love to think that I will still be satisfying myself and other people as a musician until the day I die.
- People, you can never change the way they feel. Better let them do what they will. For they will, if you let them, steal your heart.
- Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.
