More quotes by David Bowie
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.
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
And you, You can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers, And that is a fact Yes we're lovers, And that is that
David Bowie
I'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine.
David Bowie
I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie
Since early middle ages when people generally taking away the barbarity of their like, were pretty content. Although it was all an illicit contentment, what with the slave systems all over the world, in England especially, the peasants and the master, etc. People were incredibly content.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
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
The only real failure is trying to second-guess the taste of an audience. Nothing comes out of that except a kind of inward humiliation.
David Bowie
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
David Bowie
People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
David Bowie
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
I don't expect the human race to progress in too many areas. However, having a child with an ear infection makes one hugely grateful for antibiotics.
David Bowie
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.
David Bowie
When the musical keyboard was created in the 1970's, you had electronic geeks that had no background in music created these devises and gave them to musicians that had no background in electronics. The result was some of the wierd sounds that came out in the '70s.
David Bowie
Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.
David Bowie
I have to take total control myself. I can't let anybody else do anything, for I find that I can do things better for me. I don't want to get other people playing with what they think that I'm trying to do.
David Bowie
If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.
David Bowie
