Quotes

add »
Michael: I had more record deals than most people have haircuts. (edit)
Michael: Some people think of me as the character in band, some think of me as a serious thespian. Some know me as a dilettante famous for being famous. It's all true, darling! (edit)
Michael: Rock `n` roll will always run through my veins. (edit)
Michael: I love Rosie and Tom madly - they`re the Sid and Nancy of network television. That show is the best fun. Hard work? No. People who work in factories, people who`re on their feet all day, work hard. I get 1 1/2 packets of Sweet `n Low brought to me every 20 minutes, a parking spot with my name on it. It's the greatest thing in the world. (edit)
Michael: First of all, music is such an extraordinary thing because people can form allegiances, can fall in love to it, can have sex to it, can hike to it, it`s such a part of our heartbeat. I think that, rightly or wrongly, rock and roll stars have become spokespeople, which is interesting, especially when someone asks Britney Spears what she thinks of Kosovo. (edit)
