Leigh [Bowery] would make up stories about people committing suicide or going on hunger strikes because they were refused entry at the door.

Someone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.

I have the best job in the world. There's not really a lot to moan or whine about. I've got the privilege of going out and doing something I absolutely love.

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.

I suppose all of those New Romantic clubs were quite up their own asses in a way. Well, Taboo was up its own ass in a different way, but not in terms of rules.

I don't get all this Speedo stuff actually, I mean, whatever happened to the feather boa?

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.
