freedom democracy boxes
You can't put democracy and freedom back into a box.
soul sake moments
One of my proudest moments is I didn't sell my soul for the sake of popularity.
years political watches
I've watched politics for years. Republicans rarely get credit for the good things that happen in the economy during their watch. Democrats always get more credit than they deserve. They are just better at political discourse that we are.
fighting enemy democracy
Where we find young democracies, we need to help them. Where we find the enemy, we need to fight them. And that's exactly the Bush policy.
party thinking role-models
Ronald Reagan was a great role model for Respublicans party, and I think for most people. But he was a fellow that the American public just intuitively loved so much, that he could always get credit.
government support innocence
Any government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes.
falling-in-love sex gay
There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved.
running makeup thinking
I wear makeup and dress this way because I think it makes me look better. I am not doing it to get people to stare at me. If I wanted to do that I could just put a pot on my head, wear a wedding dress, and run screaming down the street.
being-yourself political can-do
The most political thing you can do is be yourself
i-am-what-i-am i-can can-do
I am what I am. There's nothing I can do about it.
personality ugly best-things
The best thing you can do is work on your personality because we're all gonna get ugly.
years two lasts
A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me.
ideas people spiders
I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of vaginas. They bother me in the way that spiders bother some people.
boys voice vowels
Leigh [Bowery] affected a posh English voice and elongated his vowels, and you never knew if he was being sincere or mocking you. If I ever commented on one of his outfits he would snip, "Oh, thank you, Mr. Boy George. I do value your opinion." And then he would spin and make some ridiculous noise and mince off.
