More quotes by 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
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
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
I was about 16 when punk started to happen... It felt like you had this naive idea that you could change things just by wearing something.
Boy George
My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I'm quite a loving person and I've always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I'm very interested in other people, and if you are, they're interested in you.
Boy George
I exercise. I go to the gym every day. It's about respecting what you're doing. You're going on stage. You have to sleep. You have to be prepared.

Boy George
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.
Boy George
I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.
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
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.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
The band never actually split up - we just stopped speaking to each other and went our own separate ways.
Boy George
I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.
Boy George
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
Boy George
It's [Jail's] like being at school. Except you can't leave.
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

Boy George
I remember going onstage on Broadway in this Leigh Bowery thing for a track like Ich Bin Kunst. I've got breasts, this latex dripping down on my head, and I come out in a box.
