More quotes by 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
What happened during the previews of 'Taboo' [musical] was that it was the first time I'd ever been written about as a great song-writer - I cried. I absolutely wept, because it wasn't the usual stuff like, Oh, he was a drug addict and he did this and that... It was really looking at the music and it was really complimentary. It was a huge thi
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
For me with The Apprentice, it kind of blew out my business brain. I don't really think of myself as a business person. I think of myself more as a creative-type person, but it's quite nice to be challenged physically and mentally.
Boy George
One door closes and another one opens.
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
Someone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.
Boy George
Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.
Boy George
For me, touring is about looking after myself.
Boy George
I think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
It's [Jail's] like being at school. Except you can't leave.
Boy George
The Taboo crowd was certainly less precious. They were happy to end up in a pile of vomit and booze at the end of the night. It was antifashion, in a sense. They were just as obsessive as the New -Romantics but they acted like they didn't care.
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. I just remember the audience looking really horrified because Rosie [O'Donnell] was trying to sell the show as sort of Pippin and Annie. She was saying it's a family sho
Boy George
I'm being honest, I say what I think.
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
I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.
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
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
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.
