I'm Always Being Inspired .

I Was About 16 When Punk Started To Happen. It Was So Exciting. You Had A Social Depression Going On In The U.k. There Was A Sanitation Strike. London Was Really Grim, Gray. You Had Margaret Thatcher Coming In. It Was A Really Revolutionary Time.

I Am Thinking Of George Michael's Family, Friends And Fans. He Was So Loved And I Hope He Knew It Because The Sadness Today Is Beyond Words. Devastating. What A Beautiful Voice He Had And His Music Will Live On As A Testament To His Talent. I Can't Believe He Is Gone. I Hope The Buddha Will Hold Him In His Arms. Nmrk.

I Also Tried To Avoid Doing Obvious Dance Records.

The Taboo Crowd Was Certainly Less Precious. They Were Happy To End Up In A Pile Of Vomit And Booze At The End Of The Night. It Was Antifashion, In A Sense. They Were Just As Obsessive As The New -romantics But They Acted Like They Didn't Care.

My Family Knew I Was Gay When I Was 15, Long Before I Got Famous. But It's A Very Different Thing Coming Out To Your Family And Coming Out To The Universe. That's A Big Step. Maybe 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.
