Hitler was the first superstar.
David Bowie

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
Image
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.

Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.

I woke up one day and realized I was a closet hetero

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years.

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.
David Bowie

I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
David Bowie

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.

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

It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
David Bowie
Image
The only real failure is trying to second-guess the taste of an audience. Nothing comes out of that except a kind of inward humiliation.
David Bowie
Image
I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
David Bowie
Image
All art is unstable. Its meaning is not necessarily that implied by the author. There is no authoritative voice. There are only multiple readings.
David Bowie
Image
[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
Image
Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
Image
I liked rock music, I kind of moved into that sphere, somehow thinking that somewhere along the line I'd be able to put the two together. And I suppose I very nearly did with the Ziggy character.

Never bored, so I'll never get old

It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
