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.

On Madonna: She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body.
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
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.

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
You find out so many interesting things when you're not on drugs.

Boy George
Certainly for me, when punk exploded in the 1970s, it was just great. We had these wonderful clothes to wear. We could do great things with our hair. We had protest badges that read I belong to the Blank Generation. It was such a great time to be a kid.
Boy George
One door closes and another one opens.
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'm always being inspired .
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
After half an hour the drug hit me like a sensuous tidal wave. I turned into a tactile temptress and wanted to stroke the whole world. It gave me untold confidence.
Boy George
Go home. Let me do my community service.
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.
