David Bowie
My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
David Bowie
Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
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
I'm wary of the word glam because I think that became the all-inclusive term with for any bloke with lipstick on, which is fine, you know, and that's what it is when it comes down to the public level.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.

David Bowie
