I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me, because it's not their profession to do that.

More quotes by David Bowie
Would you carry a razor, in case, just in case of depression?
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.
David Bowie
The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
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
We see each other [ with Iman Abdulmajid] a lot. I couldn't stand to be separated for months. It became quickly apparent to me that I needed to find a balance between my absolute work obsession and a private life that we could share without my disappearing all the time.
David Bowie
It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.
David Bowie
Time may change me, but I can't trace time.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.
David Bowie
Hear this Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you, about a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue.
David Bowie
The moment you know you know you know.
David Bowie
There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.
David Bowie
Ground control to Major Tom.
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
This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
I think Lindsay Kemp really introduced me to the work of Jean Genet, and through that, I kind of kept re-educating myself about other prose writers and poets.
David Bowie
Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.
