More quotes by David Bowie
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
[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 feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
David Bowie
I'm a born librarian with a sex drive.
David Bowie
It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
David Bowie
The moment you know you know you know.
David Bowie
You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
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
There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
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 don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
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 think every time I said, I'm working with Nile [Rodgers], the reaction was, Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make Let's Dance. We just wanted to work together again.
David Bowie
Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
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
I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.
David Bowie
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.
David Bowie
Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.
