More quotes by Boy George
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
Boy George
Leigh [Bowery] obviously loved having me in the club because I would attract media, and he loved and lived for his column inches.
Boy George
I also tried to avoid doing obvious dance records.
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
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
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.
Boy George
I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.
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
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.
Boy George
When Culture Club broke up, I hadn't been going out a lot because we'd been working all the time, so I suddenly had this period of leisure. And it was just around the time that the whole acid house thing kicked off in London.
Boy George
For me, I've gotten better at that since I've gotten older. I never was good at that when I was younger.
Boy George
You have to eat at a certain time and eat properly.
Boy George
On Madonna: She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
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
I don't know whether when I was 20 years old or 25 years old if somebody would have come along with incredible wisdom whether I would have really listened.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Boy George
Everything I think in life is about context and intention.
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
I'm being honest, I say what I think.
Boy George
