It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.

More quotes by David Bowie
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.
David Bowie
Nothing prepared me for your smile
David Bowie
I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.
David Bowie
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
David Bowie
I guess a certain contingent of the musicians in London at the beginning of the '70s were fed up with denim and the hippies. And I think we kind of wanted to go somewhere else.
David Bowie
The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
Hitler was the first superstar.
David Bowie
Ground control to Major Tom.
David Bowie
Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'
David Bowie
My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.
David Bowie
To be taken seriously about doing something creative and probably travel a lot. That was my motivation. I knew I was good, I knew I could write. I also knew you could get laid really easily.
David Bowie
I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.
David Bowie
Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.
David Bowie
Time may change me, but I can't trace time.
David Bowie
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie
It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.
David Bowie
With Let's Dance, there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.
David Bowie
There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.
David Bowie
I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.
