I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
David Bowie

For here Am I sitting in a tin can, Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, And there's nothing I can do.

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.

At no point did I ever doubt I would be as near as anybody could be to England's Elvis Presley. Even from eight or nine years old, I thought, Well, I'll be the greatest rock star in England. I just made up my mind.

I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.

The media is either our salvation or our death.

Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was the first person in rock I had seen with makeup on. He wore black nail polish and lots of mascara and black eye shadow, and he was so mysterious. It was this androgynous thing I found absolutely fascinating.

Time may change me, but I can't trace time.

I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.

If you come from art, you'll always be art.

I don't live for the stage. I don't live for an audience.

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.

I think every time I said, I'm working with Nile [Rodgers], the reaction was, Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make Let's Dance. We just wanted to work together again.

I don't believe in proper cinema it doesn't have the strength of television. People having to go out to the cinema is really archaic. I'd much rather sit at home.
