More quotes by David Bowie
There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.
David Bowie
We slit the Catholic throat, stoned the poor on such slogans as wish you could hear and love is all we need.
David Bowie
I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me, because it's not their profession to do that.
David Bowie
I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
David Bowie
There's something about the style of living in the country that they feel, This is what represents me. So style is about the philosophy of how we create our civilization.
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
Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
David Bowie
I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.
David Bowie
I never really got the book together for the thing, so I had all the songs and the characters. But by the time we'd gotten it on the road and I'd been doing it for 18 months, oh God, I couldn't wait to move on to something else.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
There's a terror in knowing what the world is about
David Bowie
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
David Bowie
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
That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.
David Bowie
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.
David Bowie
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
David Bowie
Having not really written any generational songs - I think maybe two or three of the songs that I've ever written have any bearing on the age of the listener. My stuff tends to be far more concerned with the spiritual and with subjects like isolation and being miserable.
David Bowie
I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.
David Bowie
