I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.

For me a chameleon is something that disguises itself to look as much like its environment as possible. I always thought I did exactly the opposite of that.
David Bowie
Image
I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me.

The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie

TV has eaten up everything else, and Warhol films are all that are left, which is fabulous. Pork could become the next I Love Lucy, the great American domestic comedy. It's about how people really live, not like Lucy, who never touched dishwater. It's about people living and hustling to survive.

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.

Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
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.

I'm a thinker not a talker.

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.
