I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

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.

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.

Leigh Bowery was actually quoted as saying, "Flesh is my most favorite fabric." I've seen many a freak make a scene and go, but Leigh was a special kind of exhibitionist because he was dedicated and saw it as an art form.

When you go onstage, you go on there to have a good time, and you smile and you engage with the audience and you invite them in.

I think these days, as an artist, you have to be slightly entrepreneurial. ...Nobody really sells records anymore.

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