“I am pretty nomadic, I like it. I really don’t feel comfortable in one place for too long. I really like to move around. What do they say, it’s the traveling not the arriving? I’m like that. It’s a big world, and I’m very very lucky to be able to go and see it. That’s one of my greatest pleasures. In some ways, yeah, I can see the ideal of being in one place, and I guess eventually I will do that, but I really can’t honestly say I can think of one place I want to stop and stay at the moment.”

"I get pretty terrified, to be honest, when I’m on tour. You really have to muster a lot of ego to go out there, which I find rather draining. In fact, you have to muster an enormous ego to go out and be bigger than a huge crowd of people. It’s hard enough to do that with four or five people, let alone 20,000. You know sometimes I just want to curl up on stage and just lie there for a while." — Michael for Sky Magazine, 1990.

"In my mind, I thought I was musical when I was growing up. Word-wise, I used to write poetry. I didn’t have the rock star mentality, I had the ‘serious young artist’ mentality. I was actually more into poets and things like that, and that attitude and that scene, [writers such as] Ferlinghetti and Bukowski. I thought it was pretty interesting so I started reading a lot of the stuff." — Michael for Spin magazine, 1988.
