I started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there he was gorgeous.

I was about 16 when punk started to happen. It was so exciting. You had a social depression going on in the U.K. There was a sanitation strike. London was really grim, gray. You had Margaret Thatcher coming in. It was a really revolutionary time.

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.

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.

A lot of people come up to me all the time and say thank you for helping me be who I am. So my thing wasn't just about sexuality. It was about anyone who felt different anyone who felt out of place. Being gay was one part of it.

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

Leigh [Bowery] would create fake guest lists and put the most ridiculous names on them - Joan Collins, or really naff soap stars who would never grace the door of Taboo.

I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.

I mean, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, I think the young kids sell lot of records. But for an older kind of artist, more of a sort of heritage, vintage type of artist, you have to think outside the box.

I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.

People say things about me all the time and I get over it. I've had some appalling things told about me.

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

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.

I'm always tweeting about food and things that I've made.

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.
