More quotes by 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
I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.
David Bowie
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
David Bowie
I once asked [John] Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'it's great, but its just rock and roll with lipstick on'.
David Bowie
Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
David Bowie
The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
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
This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.
David Bowie
Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.
David Bowie
Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud.
David Bowie
It was fun to be clever.
David Bowie
Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
David Bowie
I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.
David Bowie
A lot of people that I know are bugged with the idea that they have got to have an audience, or they have got to be liked. I think the more that you fall into that trap it makes your own life harder to come to terms with, because an audience appreciation is only going to be periodic at the best of times.
David Bowie
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.
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
