My God Is Better Than Your God

I 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.

I Exercise. I Go To The Gym Every Day. It's About Respecting What You're Doing. You're Going On Stage. You Have To Sleep. You Have To Be Prepared.

On Madonna: She's A Gay Man Trapped In A Woman's Body.

The Taboo Scene Was A Kind Of Deconstructed Version Of The New Romantics. The Taboo Crowd Was Using A Lot Of The Visual Ideas That Had Already Been Used. I Remember The First Time I Spotted Leigh Bowery And Trojan Parading Around In Clubs: They Were In Their "pakis From Outer Space" Look, And The Makeup Was Quite Similar To One Of My Old Looks, Because I Was Quite Fond Of Wearing Blue, Green, Or Yellow Foundation, And So I Was Pretty Dismissive Of Them At First.

I Was About 16 When Punk Started To Happen... It Felt Like You Had This Naive Idea That You Could Change Things Just By Wearing Something.
