More quotes by Boy George
Warren Street was at the high end of the New Romantic scene. They were mostly college art students and people who knew top designers.
Boy George
Someone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.
Boy George
I always feel that my whole life is representing the LGBT community. It's kind of what I do all the time.
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
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.
Boy George
I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.
Boy George
I wasn't part of the Taboo crowd the same way I was part of the New Romantics. I suppose I was seen more as an elder statesman because I had been around the London club scene for so many years. To the Taboo crowd I was really seen as a pop star, someone famous.
Boy George
Leigh [Bowery] would make up stories about people committing suicide or going on hunger strikes because they were refused entry at the door.
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
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
The New Romantic scene was so tiny. Although it got lots of mileage in the media, it was a really small club with only a core group of people. As it got more popular, kids started to come from the suburbs all dressed up, but it -really wasn't as big as it looked.
Boy George
I can do anything. In GQ, I appeared as a man.
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
One door closes and another one opens.
Boy George
For me, touring is about looking after myself.
Boy George
You have to eat at a certain time and eat properly.
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
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
Leigh Bowery was actually quoted as saying, Flesh is my most favorite fabric. I've seen many a freak make a scene and go, but Leigh was a special kind of exhibitionist because he was dedicated and saw it as an art form.
Boy George
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else it's to do with me.
