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.
Boy George

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

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.

Leigh [Bowery] affected a posh English voice and elongated his vowels, and you never knew if he was being sincere or mocking you.

And being gay isn't so easy, either I've always said that if anyone ever thought I was straight they must need glasses - but when I finally came out and said, Yes, I do sleep with men and I'm gay, yeah, I lost record sales. There's no question - big, big time.

Certainly for me, when punk exploded in the 1970s, it was just great. We had these wonderful clothes to wear. We could do great things with our hair. We had protest badges that read I belong to the Blank Generation. It was such a great time to be a kid.

The band never actually split up - we just stopped speaking to each other and went our own separate ways.
Boy George

Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.

The world is less homophobic, depending on where you are in the world... As a gay man I feel very strongly about those issues around the world - there've been huge changes and developments, but there are still places where things are scary.

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.
Boy George
Image
I was approached by this guy Chris Renshaw, who had read my book and had read Leigh's book. He wanted to incorporate both characters - he probably felt Leigh wasn't famous enough and he realized Leigh [Bowery] and I were associated.
