David Bowie
Image
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
Image
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.
David Bowie
Image
I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
David Bowie

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
David Bowie
Image
It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.
David Bowie
Image
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.
