More quotes by Boy George
Being in the Boy Scouts, you don't think about whether people are gay or straight. You're busy putting up tents and learning to cut sausages.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
Every freak has a mother. When I met Marilyn Manson I was struck by how nice he was. People are rarely as weird as you anticipate. Except for Courtney Love-who reminded me of that mad snake in The Jungle Book.
Boy George
You have to eat at a certain time and eat properly.
Boy George
My God is better than your God
Boy George
I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of vaginas. They bother me in the way that spiders bother some people.
Boy George
I'm not gay, and I'm not a transvestite.
Boy George
Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.
Boy George
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
Boy George
Voting for New Labour is like helping an old lady across the road while screaming 'Get a move on!' Even the Tories, who you could once rely on to be completely heartless are pretending to care.
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
I am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.
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 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
I wear makeup and dress this way because I think it makes me look better. I am not doing it to get people to stare at me. If I wanted to do that I could just put a pot on my head, wear a wedding dress, and run screaming down the street.
Boy George
It's [Jail's] like being at school. Except you can't leave.
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
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 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
