In Writing The Autobiography, I

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.

Leigh [bowery] Affected A Posh English Voice And Elongated His Vowels, And You Never Knew If He Was Being Sincere Or Mocking You. If I Ever Commented On One Of His Outfits He Would Snip, "oh, Thank You, Mr. Boy George. I Do Value Your Opinion." And Then He Would Spin And Make Some Ridiculous Noise And Mince Off.

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.

I'm Not Someone Who Can Sing Anything... And My Favorite Singers Aren't People Whose Voice You Would Say Is Amazing. I'm A Big Bob Dylan Fan, A Huge David Bowie Fan... None Of Those People Have Orthodox, Cabaret Voices. These Are People Where What They're Singing About Is Just As Important As How They're Singing It.

I Would Rather Have A Cup Of Tea Than Sex.
