I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
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 went on to make best-selling music - funk, dance music, electronic music, while also being influenced by cabaret and jazz.
David Bowie

I really floated around in the '60s, because I felt comfortable with nothing.
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.

Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.

Always drawn to the theatric, Bowie also performed in stage productions of The Elephant Man and just recently collaborated on Lazarus, an off-Broadway musical that's a sequel to his 1976 role in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth.

I'm bemused by the whole Robbie Williams aspect of British pop. Posh Spice? It all looks like cruise ship entertainment to me.
David Bowie
Image
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

All art is unstable. Its meaning is not necessarily that implied by the author. There is no authoritative voice. There are only multiple readings.
David Bowie
Image
I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.

Church on time, makes me party.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.
