More quotes by 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
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
I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
David Bowie
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
There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
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
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
There's a terror in knowing what the world is about
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
David Bowie
It's only forever... Not long at all.
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
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.
David Bowie
I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.
David Bowie
I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
David Bowie
I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie
Lou Reed is the most important definitive writer in modern rock. Not because of the stuff that he does, but the direction that he will take it.
David Bowie
