Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
David Bowie
If you come from art, you'll always be art.
David Bowie
You can't put down anybody. You can just try and understand. The emphasis shouldn't be on revolution, it should be on communication. Because it's just going to get more uptight. The more the revolution goes on, and there will be a civil war sooner or later.
David Bowie

David Bowie
The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie
I'm wary of the word glam because I think that became the all-inclusive term with for any bloke with lipstick on, which is fine, you know, and that's what it is when it comes down to the public level.
David Bowie
The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.
David Bowie
I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.
David Bowie
