Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.

I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie
Image
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
David Bowie

The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
Image
My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.

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.

We can't stop trying til we break up our minds, til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knight.
David Bowie

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
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.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.
David Bowie

It's only forever... Not long at all.
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

Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.
David Bowie

I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
Image
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.

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

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.

The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
