David Bowie
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
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.
David Bowie
We can't stop trying til we break up our minds, til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knight.

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.
David Bowie
Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.
David Bowie
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.
