I was unwelcome in the U.S. for four years.

Leigh [Bowery] obviously loved having me in the club because I would attract media, and he loved and lived for his column inches.

The ultimate goal is to be more satisfied. I really don't believe you get wiser because you get older. It's a choice, perhaps not to take some things so seriously

I started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there; he was gorgeous.

The most significant New York club for me was Paradise Garage, where they played house music. This was around '84 or '85.

I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.

I find that most people [in social media] just want me to say "happy birthday" to their mom or wish them good luck with their exams.
