More quotes by David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction seconds after its birth. Everything falls into a feeling of 'rightness'.
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.
David Bowie
I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
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
There have been times when I've written something and it goes out and it comes back in a letter from some kid as to what they think about it and I've taken their analysis to heart so much that I have taken up his thing. Writing what my audience is telling me to write.
David Bowie
I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.
David Bowie
People don't get a chance to think, Why am I a consumer? Because the decisions come at them so fast and furiously, they're not [even] given time to think, I am a consumer.
David Bowie
There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all.
David Bowie
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
The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.
David Bowie
Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.
David Bowie
A lot of people that I know are bugged with the idea that they have got to have an audience, or they have got to be liked. I think the more that you fall into that trap it makes your own life harder to come to terms with, because an audience appreciation is only going to be periodic at the best of times.
David Bowie
I'm not at ease with the word love.
David Bowie
I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.
David Bowie
I think Lindsay Kemp really introduced me to the work of Jean Genet, and through that, I kind of kept re-educating myself about other prose writers and poets.
David Bowie
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.
David Bowie
I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.
David Bowie
