David Bowie
See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads.
David Bowie
I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.
David Bowie
Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.
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.
David Bowie

David Bowie

David Bowie
It's true - I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
David Bowie
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.
David Bowie
David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.
David Bowie
Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.
David Bowie
Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.
David Bowie
I liked rock music, I kind of moved into that sphere, somehow thinking that somewhere along the line I'd be able to put the two together. And I suppose I very nearly did with the Ziggy character.
David Bowie
I think the first song I ever wrote ... was called Can't Help Thinking About Me. That's an illuminating little piece, isn't it?
David Bowie
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.
