More quotes by David Bowie

David Bowie
There's something about the style of living in the country that they feel, This is what represents me. So style is about the philosophy of how we create our civilization.
David Bowie
Rock has always been the devil's music... I believe that rock & roll is dangerous... I feel that we're only heralding something even darker than ourselves.
David Bowie

David Bowie
If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.
David Bowie
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
David Bowie
I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.
David Bowie
People look to me to see what the spirit of the Seventies is.
David Bowie
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
David Bowie
I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.
David Bowie
It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
David Bowie
I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.
David Bowie
For here Am I sitting in a tin can, Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, And there's nothing I can do.
