More quotes by Boy George
Everything I think in life is about context and intention.
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
People say things about me all the time and I get over it. I've had some appalling things told about me.
Boy George
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.
Boy George
I also tried to avoid doing obvious dance records.
Boy George
I can do anything. In GQ, I appeared as a man.
Boy George
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
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
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.
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 feel like my career has always been a series of collisions and accidents. Being in the right place at the right time. Having the right haircut. It's so mad to think that it happened in the way that it happened.
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
You find out so many interesting things when you're not on drugs.
Boy George
When Culture Club broke up, I hadn't been going out a lot because we'd been working all the time, so I suddenly had this period of leisure. And it was just around the time that the whole acid house thing kicked off in London.
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
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
A lot of people come up to me all the time and say thank you for helping me be who I am. So my thing wasn't just about sexuality. It was about anyone who felt different anyone who felt out of place. Being gay was one part of it.
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.
Boy George
I am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.
Boy George
For me, touring is about looking after myself.
