More quotes by David Bowie
Lou Reed is the most important definitive writer in modern rock. Not because of the stuff that he does, but the direction that he will take it.
David Bowie
I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.
David Bowie
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
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.
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
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
David Bowie
I guess a certain contingent of the musicians in London at the beginning of the '70s were fed up with denim and the hippies. And I think we kind of wanted to go somewhere else.
David Bowie
In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
David Bowie
I liked rock music, I kind of moved into that sphere, somehow thinking that somewhere along the line I'd be able to put the two together. And I suppose I very nearly did with the Ziggy character.
David Bowie
David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
David Bowie
The moment you know you know you know.
David Bowie
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
Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don't think I'm camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.
David Bowie
Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
David Bowie
I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
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 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
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
I'm a born librarian with a sex drive.
