Leigh Bowery Was Actually Quoted As Saying,

A Difficult Crowd Will Always Test Your True Ability.

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.

You're Lucky If You Reach The Point Where You Go, "ok, I Have A Wonderful Life ...i Fly Around The World, Stay In Beautiful Places, People Are Generally Quite Sweet To Me, What's To Complain About?" But I Think You Have To Get There... And 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.

I Knew Style And Content Went Hand In Hand.

I Think Being Individual In The Show Business Is What Gives You Life And Longevity.
