I've had to write in a different way because I'm not in a bad place and I'm not heartbroken, so there's no one I want revenge on.

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.

The Taboo crowd was certainly less precious. They were happy to end up in a pile of vomit and booze at the end of the night. It was antifashion, in a sense. They were just as obsessive as the New -Romantics but they acted like they didn't care.

I like the big bombastic singers, but I'm also very drawn to what I call character singers. They're people who obviously aren't very huge singers, but they've got this ability to tell a story and touch you emotionally without really using any kind of histrionics or special effects.

I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of vaginas. They bother me in the way that spiders bother some people.

The band never actually split up - we just stopped speaking to each other and went our own separate ways.
Boy George
Image
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
Image
I am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.

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.

Image
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.

Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.
Boy George
Image
I feel like my career has always been a series of collisions and accidents. Being in the right place at the right time. Having the right haircut. It's so mad to think that it happened in the way that it happened.

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'm not someone who can sing anything... And my favorite singers aren't people whose voice you would say is amazing. I'm a big Bob Dylan fan, a huge David Bowie fan... none of those people have orthodox, cabaret voices. These are people where what they're singing about is just as important as how they're singing it.

You have to eat at a certain time and eat properly.

One door closes and another one opens.

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.
Boy George
Image
When I go onstage, I'm going to work ...I feel like my performance is about an emotional connection. I want to connect with people, whether it's like a romantic song or a happy song.

I'm being honest, I say what I think.

For me, touring is about looking after myself.
