I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.

This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
David Bowie
Some make you sing and some make you scream. One makes you wish that you'd never been seen. But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache, making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay. If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
I woke up one day and realized I was a closet hetero
David Bowie
I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.
David Bowie
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
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
I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.
David Bowie
My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
David Bowie
There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
David Bowie
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
David Bowie
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!
David Bowie
I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings.
David Bowie
Nothing prepared me for your smile
David Bowie
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
David Bowie
[David] Bowie went on to make best-selling music - funk, dance music, electronic music, while also being influenced by cabaret and jazz.
David Bowie
There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists. There are good things and bad things about being an artist, and the good thing is, sometimes you get an inside line on what's really happening. You develop these strange antennae that clue you in to what's really going on.
David Bowie
My mother was a housewife. Both from - well, my father was from a farming family, agricultural family in the north of England. And my mother came from a very working class.
David Bowie
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
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
