Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie

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.

Pixies and Sonic Youth were so important to the eighties.
David Bowie

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
David Bowie

Things have to hit for the moment. That's one of the reasons I'm into video the image has to hit immediately. I adore video and the whole cutting up of it.
David Bowie

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
It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.

It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.

I've been putting out the fire with gasoline.
