More quotes by David Bowie

Image
I've made over 25 studio albums, and I think probably I've made two real stinkers in my time, and some not-bad albums, and some really good albums. I'm proud of what I've done. In fact it's been a good ride.
David Bowie
Image
I just tried everything out - I mean, everything. Even my sexual orientation I was just searching for what I really wanted. And I didn't quite know.
David Bowie
Image
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
David Bowie
Image
I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.
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.

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.

I'm a blackstar. I'm a blackstar.

I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it.
David Bowie

I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.
David Bowie

Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.
David Bowie
Image
Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.
David Bowie
Image
I'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine.
David Bowie
Image
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.

Church on time, makes me party.

Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.
