The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
David Bowie
Image
I have to take total control myself. I can't let anybody else do anything, for I find that I can do things better for me. I don't want to get other people playing with what they think that I'm trying to do.

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

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

Don't let me hear you say life takes you nowhere, angel.

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.

Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.

Someday, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter Someday, I'm gonna get that faculty together.

Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.

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.

Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
