Andrew [ridgeley] and i had demoed a couple of our songs very cheaply, and we weren't expecting any kind of record deal. we just walked around with our demo tape, trying to find someone to give us the money to demo properly. instead of that, we got a record contract. it was just an incredibly lucky break.

More From George Michael

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

It was a very lucky set of incidents that led to wham! getting a record contract - although we weren't wham! when we got the record contract. we were nothing; we were just two friends who had written a few songs.

So when i was working with amy winehouse on "back to black," you know, she had all these beautiful songs, incredibly well-written and just her on an acoustic, nylon-string guitar. and she'd play them for me, and then i would kind of drum up my idea of what i thought - make a demo with what i thought the drums should be doing, the guitars - like, quite a crude demo.

That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.

We [with andrew ridgeley] didn't expect people to take it seriously. but naturally they did, and they thought we were a couple of wankers.

Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.

I like my boy with his endless sweet soliloquies and iterations and his utter inability to conceive why i should not leave all my nonsense, business, and writing and come to tie up his toy horse, as if there was or could be any end to nature beyond his horse. and he is wiser than we when [he] threatens his whole threat "i will not love you."
