I felt that making records in a traditional way - putting them out in the same way, wasting loads of money - was just a pointless exercise.

More quotes by Boy George
Very few people can truly divorce themselves from what they feel emotionally and sexually.
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 started going to Madame Louise's, the lesbian club where all the punk bands used to go - the Sex Pistols, the Clash. I remember seeing Billy Idol walk in there he was gorgeous.
Boy George
I'm being honest, I say what I think.
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 was approached by this guy Chris Renshaw, who had read my book and had read Leigh's book. He wanted to incorporate both characters - he probably felt Leigh wasn't famous enough and he realized Leigh [Bowery] and I were associated.
Boy George
Leigh Bowery created outfits that made him look deformed, which was very brave. I believe this was the main thing that gave Leigh his edge. His designs were often breath-taking, but it was the way he used his body that was so utterly new and refreshing.
Boy George

Boy George
I'm not gay, and I'm not a transvestite.
Boy George
Someone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.
Boy George
One door closes and another one opens.
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 would rather have a cup of tea than sex.
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
Sometimes indifference can be so erotic. I think the people who are most dismissive of you get the most of your attention.
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
Don't talk about things you don't like. Talk about music that you love, books that you've read. I put a lot of recipes online.
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
