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

[While] my life started taking on all the problems of addiction. So that took me off into an area where relationships were absolutely impossible to handle on any real level. . . . Even communicating with other people was impossible.
David Bowie

The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.

I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.

If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.

I think that we have created a new kind of person in a way. We have created a child who will be so exposed to the media that he will be lost to his parents by the time he is 12.

It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
Image
I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
David Bowie

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.

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

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.

There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all.

I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.
