I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

I try to exist in a world where there is freedom of opinion, where you're allowed to make jokes. I don't want to live in some PC world where no-one's allowed to say anything.

Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.

Well there are those who think you can only succeed at someone else's expense.

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.

I just go in my back garden. It's the only place where people don't come and bother you.

A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.

Part of me looks at the gay movement now and worries that we're losing our individuality.

I knew style and content went hand in hand.

I'm always being inspired .

I also tried to avoid doing obvious dance records.

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.

People say things about me all the time and I get over it. I've had some appalling things told about me.

Very few people can truly divorce themselves from what they feel emotionally and sexually.

An actor is a guy who, if you ain't talking about him, he ain't listening.

I'm being honest, I say what I think.

She's probably in denial that she's a great big ball of insecurity and I'm quite well aware that I am one.

Beethoven had a great look. It was very much about the drama of appearance.

What's really sad is that a lot of very talented people are being forced to do things that are very embarrassing and I don't intend to be one of them.

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.

The ultimate goal is to be more satisfied. I really don't believe you get wiser because you get older. It's a choice, perhaps not to take some things so seriously.

I would rather have a cup of tea than sex.

I'd got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

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 can do anything. In GQ, I appeared as a man.

I was unwelcome in the U.S. for four years.

Remember that I was out of the closet at the age of sixteen. My parents knew I was gay; I'd had to tell them.

I think people could be a bit friendlier. The only real contact you have with people is when they're annoyed if you've had a party - you know, it's been a bit too noisy for them or something.

I suppose there is a lot of toughness in me.

I'm not responsible enough to have a dog - or a child.

I'm of the opinion that as a DJ you must always play what you love and ignore what's 'trendy' because true passion always eclipses what's fashionable. Quality is always fashionable.

You get much more done if you go to bed early and get up early.

One door closes and another one opens.

Shes probably in denial that shes a great big ball of insecurity and Im quite well aware that I am one.

I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change.

The successful establishment of a buffer zone around Fort Carson will provide an example for other bases around the country as we seek to protect the training mission of the U.S. military while preserving critical habitats on our ranges.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

I am always successful in my work.

A good title is the title of a successful book.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people.

I don't know if there is any one secret to successful writing, but one important step is to move beyond imitation and discover what you can write that no one else can - that is, find out who you are and write that in an appropriate narrative and style.

Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture.

To judge between good or bad, between successful and unsuccessful would take the eye of a God.

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.

I don't think there has been any increase in sophistication in the audience. When people are aware of a concept that's easy to understand, and there's an actor who will attract them to the theater and it's a movie that's funny three-quarters of the time, it will be successful.

The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.

Every successful revolution puts on in time the robes of the tyrant it has deposed.
