A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.

More quotes by Boy George
For me, touring is about looking after myself.
Boy George
Don't talk about things you don't like. Talk about music that you love, books that you've read. I put a lot of recipes online.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
Leigh Bowery created outfits that made him look deformed, which was very brave. I believe this was the main thing that gave Leigh his edge. His designs were often breath-taking, but it was the way he used his body that was so utterly new and refreshing.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
I think drugs played a big role in the Taboo scene. People were taking copious amounts of ecstasy, which had filtered over from New York, and at a certain point you were more likely to spend most of the night in the toilets at the club.
Boy George
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Boy George
Taboo was kind of celebrating trash, the kind of records you secretly loved, like Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, by Baccara [laughs] - things that you probably shouldn't like.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
Sometimes indifference can be so erotic. I think the people who are most dismissive of you get the most of your attention.
Boy George
One door closes and another one opens.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
Go home. Let me do my community service.
Boy George
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
Boy George
On Madonna: She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
Boy George
Leigh [Bowery] affected a posh English voice and elongated his vowels, and you never knew if he was being sincere or mocking you. If I ever commented on one of his outfits he would snip, Oh, thank you, Mr. Boy George. I do value your opinion. And then he would spin and make some ridiculous noise and mince off.
Boy George
I can do anything. In GQ, I appeared as a man.
Boy George
When you're younger, you think you're in competition with everyone. You think everyone's success is a threat to you, and this is a thing you grow out of. You get older and you suddenly realize the only person you're in competition with is yourself.
Boy George
As a kid, I would've loved to get a tweet from David Bowie or Joan Rivers or Tom Cruise. It's great that you can communicate with people and it's instant.
Boy George
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.
