Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.
David Bowie
Image
Rock has always been the devil's music... I believe that rock & roll is dangerous... I feel that we're only heralding something even darker than ourselves.
David Bowie
Image
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.
David Bowie
Image
I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.
David Bowie
Image
Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.
David Bowie
Image
We see each other [ with Iman Abdulmajid] a lot. I couldn't stand to be separated for months. It became quickly apparent to me that I needed to find a balance between my absolute work obsession and a private life that we could share without my disappearing all the time.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.

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.

My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.
David Bowie
Image
I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.

[David] Bowie's last album Blackstar featured him backed by a jazz quartet.

When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.
David Bowie
Image
I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.
David Bowie
Image
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.

The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.

The media is either our salvation or our death.

Actually, my ambition at eight or nine years old was to be one of Little Richard's sax players, and that's when I got my first saxophone, a Selmer. It was a strange Bakelite material - that creamy plastic with all the gold keys on it. I had to get a job as a butcher's delivery boy to start paying for it.
