More quotes by Boy George
Karma chameleon: we come and go, we come and go.
Boy George
On Madonna: She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
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
I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.
Boy George
I'm being honest, I say what I think.
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
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
Sometimes indifference can be so erotic. I think the people who are most dismissive of you get the most of your attention.
Boy George
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
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
I have the best job in the world. There's not really a lot to moan or whine about. I've got the privilege of going out and doing something I absolutely love.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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 band never actually split up - we just stopped speaking to each other and went our own separate ways.
Boy George
I also tried to avoid doing obvious dance records.
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.
