“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)

“I never had posters on my walls, and I didn’t have any icons, either. I come from a small village in Wirral, and my family didn’t watch TV. I wasn’t exposed to people with icon status. David Bowie popped up, but I had already shaved my eyebrows off by the time I saw his.” (Pete Burns)

“I’m not a camp, throwaway queen; I’m not in Neverland. I’m not Jennifer Lopez with three people to pluck my eyebrows. I’ve made myself what I want to be – not everybody’s cup of tea. And people wanna have a look at me. I fully accept that. People have always wanted to have a look at me.” (Pete Burns)

“I hope when I’m 80 that I get to Heaven and God doesn’t recognise me.” (Pete Burns)

“It was a lovely feeling, dying. I can remember being in the hospital, all wired up to tubes and thinking, ‘If only you’d take these tubes out, it feels so nice.’ It felt so – it felt like being in a bath of velvet. It was such a nice feeling. Everything felt so soft and floppy, and I wanted to go.” (Pete Burns)
