Personality is a real aphrodisiac, when somebody is charming or funny. I think certain jobs attract certain types of people.

For me, I've gotten better at that since I've gotten older. I never was good at that when I was younger.

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.

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.

Leigh Bowery was actually quoted as saying, Flesh is my most favorite fabric. I've seen many a freak make a scene and go, but Leigh was a special kind of exhibitionist because he was dedicated and saw it as an art form.

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. I absolutely wept, because it wasn't the usual stuff like, Oh, he was a drug addict and he did this and that... It was really looking at the music and it was really complimentary. It was a huge thi

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Leigh [Bowery] would make up stories about people committing suicide or going on hunger strikes because they were refused entry at the door.

I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.

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.

As a kid, I would've loved to get a tweet from David Bowie or Joan Rivers or Tom Cruise. It's great that you can communicate with people and it's instant.

I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of vaginas. They bother me in the way that spiders bother some people.
Boy George

I think drugs played a big role in the Taboo scene. People were taking copious amounts of ecstasy, which had filtered over from New York, and at a certain point you were more likely to spend most of the night in the toilets at the club.

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.
