More quotes by David Bowie
Comfort comes into your house first as guest, then as a host, then finally as the master.
David Bowie
I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
David Bowie
In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
David Bowie
And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.
David Bowie
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.
David Bowie
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.
David Bowie
People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
David Bowie
I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.
David Bowie
Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.
David Bowie
I'll ruin everything you are, I'll give you television.
David Bowie
People don't get a chance to think, Why am I a consumer? Because the decisions come at them so fast and furiously, they're not [even] given time to think, I am a consumer.
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
I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
David Bowie
Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
