It’s not a matter of vanity; it’s a matter of sanity. I’ll never look forever young, but I’ll look as best as I possibly can; I’ll look surreal. Pete Burns Read Quote
I live a quiet daytime life. I walk everywhere. I lie down. I wash socks. I fry an egg. Pete Burns Read Quote
I never wanted credit for being a wonderful person or a great human being or looking peculiar. I just wanted credit for the music. Pete Burns Read Quote
The idea of travelling all over the world singing the same songs sounds like hell. How people like Tina Turner still do it with enthusiasm is beyond me. Pete Burns Read Quote
I’m not trying to be a girl by putting on a dress – gender is separated by fabric. Pete Burns Read Quote
There was one point where my mother was dying of lung cancer, and a journalist dressed up as a nurse and got in the house to get a picture of her, dying of lung cancer and stuff like that, and then you realise the fame’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Pete Burns Read Quote
From a child, I knew I didn’t have the face I wanted to have. My mother was a baroness. She was from Berlin; she was a silent movie actress and friends with Marlene Dietrich. So she knew all about film make-up and prosthetics and stuff like that and what they used to do in those days. And she taught me all that as a child. Pete Burns Read Quote
I’m not interested in gigs unless I really want to do them. I walked away from music in 1997, and then there was a greatest hits in 2002. Thank God, it didn’t do too well because the record company wouldn’t promote it. Pete Burns Read Quote
