The best thing you can do is work on your personality because we're all gonna get ugly.

Leigh [Bowery] obviously loved having me in the club because I would attract media, and he loved and lived for his column inches.

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
Image
I've had to write in a different way because I'm not in a bad place and I'm not heartbroken, so there's no one I want revenge on.
Boy George
Image
I'm not gay, and I'm not a transvestite.
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.

I'm always tweeting about food and things that I've made.
Boy George
Image
People say things about me all the time and I get over it. I've had some appalling things told about me.

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.

Leigh [Bowery] affected a posh English voice and elongated his vowels, and you never knew if he was being sincere or mocking you. If I ever commented on one of his outfits he would snip, Oh, thank you, Mr. Boy George. I do value your opinion. And then he would spin and make some ridiculous noise and mince off.

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
Image
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
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.

I'm being honest, I say what I think.
Boy George
Image
I am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.

One door closes and another one opens.

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.

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.

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.

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