Simon John Charles Lebon Quotes

  • [on Steve Strange] He was the leading edge of New Romantic.
  • [on “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”] I had Sting standing next to me when I recorded my bit and rather than make me feel nervous and uncomfortable, I took great comfort from that. I was very proud to be on a microphone next to Sting, I really was.
  • Sex is by far and away much more interesting than cards or video games.
  • Meeting Andy Warhol… cool, great… but it wasn’t like someone giving me a Ferrari or anything.
  • I’ve always rather fancied John. We’re much more into each other.
  • I’d spent my entire teenage years suffering one unrequited love affair after the other. I was so shy I couldn’t even talk to girls. If I fancied them, I’d follow them home, but I didn’t have the guts to approach them. I was a teenage stalker. The same went for John. The first time I saw him he was this geek with nicotine-stained fingers, trembling with fear at the prospect of having to meet people. And his name wasn’t even John. It was Nigel. He was a Nigel with glasses, poor sod. I remember staring at his face and slowly realizing that he was rather beautiful, exquisite in fact. I mean, this was the best-looking guy I’d seen in years, maybe my whole life. Losing his glasses and changing his name to John was the best thing he ever did. He was a man transformed. To see him in action was incredible. He could charm the knickers off anyone.
  • I have very strange dreams, especially when I’m traveling. I had one recently that someone was sending me messages by spider. A spider would crawl up my right arm, go across my shoulders and down my left arm and then I’d understand the message. The messages came from my right hand – they were really stupid. I don’t think it’ll catch on.
  • I am not a snob – ask anybody. Well, anybody who matters.
