More quotes by David Bowie
I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.
David Bowie
But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
David Bowie
It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.
David Bowie
Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.
David Bowie
There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.
David Bowie
I once asked [John] Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'it's great, but its just rock and roll with lipstick on'.
David Bowie
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
The moment you know you know you know.
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
You can't put down anybody. You can just try and understand. The emphasis shouldn't be on revolution, it should be on communication. Because it's just going to get more uptight. The more the revolution goes on, and there will be a civil war sooner or later.
David Bowie
Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.
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.
David Bowie
I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.
David Bowie
There's a thing that just as you go to sleep, if you keep your elbows elevated that you will never go below the dream stage. And I've used that quite a lot and it keeps me dreaming much longer than if I just relaxed.
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
I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.
David Bowie
I don't believe in proper cinema it doesn't have the strength of television. People having to go out to the cinema is really archaic. I'd much rather sit at home.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
