BOY GEORGEMaybe without me, there wouldn’t be Adam Lambert. Without Bowie, there wouldn’t be me. Without Quentin Crisp, there wouldn’t have been Bowie. So everything is part of a big daisy chain.
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 GEORGEYou get older and you suddenly realize the only person you’re in competition with is yourself.
BOY GEORGEAnd it’s taken me the best part of 54 years to reach that point where I’m like, “I’m very lucky, I’m lucky, I’m blessed” – all of those things. I wish I could impart that to other people but I think when you’re young, you just don’t listen.
