Culture Club: Top Of The Fops
Betty Page, Sounds, 12 June 1982
"PEOPLE THAT plan interviews are really boring. I just say what I want when it comes into my head. People in Scunthorpe don't care what I say. And I'm not camp either. I'm a geezer. I'm not a raving queer, I've got a bit of character. I just ignore people who shout at me in the street. I just stick my head in the air, I'm not interested."
