BOY GEORGESomeone once said a cynic is just a disappointed romantic. That really, really sums me up.
BOY GEORGEI suppose all of those New Romantic clubs were quite up their own asses in a way. Well, Taboo was up its own ass in a different way, but not in terms of rules.
BOY GEORGEI just go in my back garden. It’s the only place where people don’t come and bother you.
BOY GEORGEI knew style and content went hand in hand.
BOY GEORGESo much happened in that 10-year span. There were so many musical revolutions. Some were happening at the same time.
BOY GEORGEWhat 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.
BOY GEORGEI’m always tweeting about food and things that I’ve made.
BOY GEORGEI 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.
BOY GEORGEA lot of people come up to me all the time and say thank you for helping me be who I am. So my thing wasn’t just about sexuality. It was about anyone who felt different; anyone who felt out of place. Being gay was one part of it.

BOY GEORGEOne door closes and another one opens.
BOY GEORGEEverything I think in life is about context and intention.
BOY GEORGEThe New Romantic scene was so tiny. Although it got lots of mileage in the media, it was a really small club with only a core group of people. As it got more popular, kids started to come from the suburbs all dressed up, but it -really wasn’t as big as it looked.
BOY GEORGEI’d got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.
