Michael cited Cassidy as a major career influence and interviewed Cassidy for David Litchfield's Ritz Newspaper. It’s an excellent depiction of a star who is superb at what he does for a living but sadly, also one who struggled because he never knew how to come to turns with his sexuality.

and then spent the remainder of his life alternately trying to live up to and run away from his success.In 1991, Michael released an autobiography through Penguin Books titled Bare, co-written with Tony Parsons. In 1992, Michael established a relationship with Anselmo Feleppa, a Brazilian dress designer whom he had met at the Rock in Rio concert in 1991.

The first CD, titled "For the Heart", predominantly contains ballads; the second CD, "For the Feet", consists mainly of dance tunes. According to Michael in his film, A Different Story, success did not make him happy and he started to think there was something wrong in being an idol for millions of teenage girls. His pathetic stature prompted the teacher to ask the class for a volunteer to to look after "Georgios".In June 2008, Michael told the Los Angeles Times that his maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she married a non-Jewish man and raised her children with no knowledge of their Jewish background due to her fear during World War II.

Michael stated that his early fantasies were about women, which "led me to believe I was on the path to heterosexuality", but at puberty he started to fantasise about men, which he later said "had something to do with my environment".I do not think there is anything I could have said to George that would have made him feel better about himself. In the same interview, he added: "If I wasn't with Kenny [his boyfriend at the time], I would have sex with women, no question". I do not think I do, simply because as a biographer it creates a treasure trove of psychology to probe into trying to figure out the most important question in any biography, which is the “why?
