She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.
David Bowie

I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie

The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.

Image
I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.
David Bowie
Image
I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.

Image
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.

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
Image
I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.

I'll paint you moments of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings.
David Bowie

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.

Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
