My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.

There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.

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.

I haven't changed my views much since I was about 12, really, I've just got a 12-year-old mentality.When I was in school I had a brother who was into Kerouac and he gave me On The Road to read when I was 12 years old. That's still been a big influence.

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.
David Bowie

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
David Bowie
Image
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

But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
David Bowie
Image
I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
David Bowie

We can't stop trying til we break up our minds, til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knight.
David Bowie
Image
I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.
David Bowie
Image
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

I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
