However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.

I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.

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

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.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!

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.

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

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.

People look to me to see what the spirit of the Seventies is.
David Bowie

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.

That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.
David Bowie

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
David Bowie

Having not really written any generational songs - I think maybe two or three of the songs that I've ever written have any bearing on the age of the listener. My stuff tends to be far more concerned with the spiritual and with subjects like isolation and being miserable.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie

I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.
David Bowie
Image
I guess a certain contingent of the musicians in London at the beginning of the '70s were fed up with denim and the hippies. And I think we kind of wanted to go somewhere else.
David Bowie

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.
