For me the most interesting thing about Leigh Bowery was the way he used his body as a style statement. He was a big guy, but, because he was tall and had long legs, he looked in proportion - even sexy - despite being overweight by conventional standards.

Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.

I always feel that my whole life is representing the LGBT community. It's kind of what I do all the time.

Very few people can truly divorce themselves from what they feel emotionally and sexually.

In writing the autobiography, I can really chuckle when I look at the songs. I was acting out the part. I saw myself as a victim.

Drugs became an obsession, like Culture Club had been, like religion later became although I'm through with that now.

I'm always being inspired .
