I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.

I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.
David Bowie
Image
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.'

I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.
David Bowie
Image
There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.

Look up here, I'm in heaven.

Having not really written any generational songs - I think maybe two or three of the songs that I've ever written have any bearing on the age of the listener. My stuff tends to be far more concerned with the spiritual and with subjects like isolation and being miserable.

I've made over 25 studio albums, and I think probably I've made two real stinkers in my time, and some not-bad albums, and some really good albums. I'm proud of what I've done. In fact it's been a good ride.

I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.

I'm not at ease with the word love.

I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.
David Bowie
Image
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.

Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.
David Bowie

The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.
David Bowie

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.

It was fun to be clever.

Time may change me, but I can't trace time.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don't think I'm camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.

I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.

When the musical keyboard was created in the 1970's, you had electronic geeks that had no background in music created these devises and gave them to musicians that had no background in electronics. The result was some of the wierd sounds that came out in the '70s.
