David Bowie
My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
David Bowie
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.
David Bowie
[David] Bowie's last album Blackstar featured him backed by a jazz quartet.
David Bowie
I'm not at ease with the word love.
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.
David Bowie
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
David Bowie

David Bowie

David Bowie
Time may change me, but I can't trace time.
David Bowie
I think every time I said, I'm working with Nile [Rodgers], the reaction was, Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make Let's Dance. We just wanted to work together again.
David Bowie
I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.
David Bowie
[David] Bowie went on to make best-selling music - funk, dance music, electronic music, while also being influenced by cabaret and jazz.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
David Bowie
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!
David Bowie
I think that we have created a new kind of person in a way. We have created a child who will be so exposed to the media that he will be lost to his parents by the time he is 12.
David Bowie
Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.
David Bowie
I don't believe in proper cinema it doesn't have the strength of television. People having to go out to the cinema is really archaic. I'd much rather sit at home.
David Bowie
