I'm Very Uncomfortable With The Idea Of

I Always Feel That My Whole Life Is Representing The Lgbt Community. It's Kind Of What I Do All The Time.

Most Of My Influences Are From The Past.

We Changed The Name From Sex Gang Children To Culture Club Because Jon Moss, Our Drummer, Went To L.a. On Holiday And Took Some Demo Tapes With Him. -everyone Loved The Music But Nobody Liked The Name. I -remember Getting A Postcard From Jon From L.a. Saying, "i Don't Think America's Ready For The Sex Gang Children."

Whenever There's An Interview With Me, I Might Read It, But I Don't Read The Comments Because They're So Hateful Sometimes. When Someone Writes Something Nasty, I Just Think, "if That's Your Contribution To My Day, I Really Don't Need Your Impoliteness." I'm Lucky That People Are Very Cool With Me And I Get A Lot Of Love. I Appreciate That.

I Wasn't Part Of The Taboo Crowd The Same Way I Was Part Of The New Romantics. I Suppose I Was Seen More As An Elder Statesman Because I Had Been Around The London Club Scene For So Many Years. To The Taboo Crowd I Was Really Seen As A Pop Star, Someone Famous.
