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

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.

I've had to write in a different way because I'm not in a bad place and I'm not heartbroken, so there's no one I want revenge on.

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.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

A failure establishes only this, that our determination to succeed was not strong enough.

Take life slowly and deliberately, making sure to acknowledge the people who have helped you succeed along the way.

I'd rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.

It takes a lot more energy to fail than to succeed, since it takes a lot of concentrated energy to hold on to beliefs that don't work.

It's not enough that I should succeed - others should fail.

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down, I like to root for him to succeed.

New technologies such as solar systems or hybrid cars aren't created overnight. By extending these tax credits we are giving this industry time to grow, branch out and succeed.

To succeed in business it is necessary to make others see things as you see them.

There's a flipside to this; if you as an individual have the right to live on your own terms, you must have the right to both succeed and fail on them.

I don't know what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder... I think it's just pure perseverance and wanting to succeed and having that burning desire to always have success.

Two kinds of men generally best succeed in political life; men of no principle, but of great talent; and men of no talent, but of one principle - that of obedience to their superiors.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

Don't settle for style. Succeed in substance.
