Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.

I once asked [John] Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'it's great, but its just rock and roll with lipstick on'.

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.
David Bowie

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

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!
