When I first went to New York, I didn't really go out to clubs. It was the height of Culture Club so I didn't really have a social life. It was only after I had been to New York a few times that I started going out.

A lot of people felt I was getting work because I was Boy George. My response at the time was that there's a lot of DJs making records, they're not all making good records, but they have the right to do that.

My God is better than your God

I felt that making records in a traditional way - putting them out in the same way, wasting loads of money - was just a pointless exercise.

I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.

Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.
