More quotes by Boy George
Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.
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
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 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 think being individual in the show business is what gives you life and longevity.
Boy George
I like the big bombastic singers, but I'm also very drawn to what I call character singers. They're people who obviously aren't very huge singers, but they've got this ability to tell a story and touch you emotionally without really using any kind of histrionics or special effects.

Someone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.

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.

You find out so many interesting things when you're not on drugs.
Boy George
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Boy George

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
You have to eat at a certain time and eat properly.
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 can do anything. In GQ, I appeared as a man.
Boy George
I'm being honest, I say what I think.
Boy George
Every freak has a mother. When I met Marilyn Manson I was struck by how nice he was. People are rarely as weird as you anticipate. Except for Courtney Love-who reminded me of that mad snake in The Jungle Book.
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 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.
