Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.
David Bowie

At no point did I ever doubt I would be as near as anybody could be to England's Elvis Presley. Even from eight or nine years old, I thought, Well, I'll be the greatest rock star in England. I just made up my mind.

This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.

Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.

Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

It took me a long time to reach the bottom and it went through various stages. I went from drugs into an alcohol stage. For a while, one feels, Ah, I've kicked drugs, but what I discovered was I had another addiction instead.

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.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie
Image
I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.

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

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

I don't have stylistic loyalty. That's why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.

Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.
