I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.

Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.
David Bowie
Image
I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.
David Bowie
Image
I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie
Image
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
David Bowie

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.

It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
David Bowie
Image
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.
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

I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave
David Bowie

I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.
David Bowie
Image
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.

Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
David Bowie
Image
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
David Bowie
Image
When I was going through those very fast changes, I think it was terribly important to me that I was seen to be inventive. I think that was the characteristic of my work that I wanted people to see.

People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
