The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.

More quotes by David Bowie
I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave
David Bowie
You can neither win nor lose if you don't run the race
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've been putting out the fire with gasoline.
David Bowie
There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all.
David Bowie
But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.
David Bowie
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.
David Bowie
A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.
David Bowie
Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
David Bowie
I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
David Bowie
Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.
David Bowie
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
I haven't changed my views much since I was about 12, really, I've just got a 12-year-old mentality.When I was in school I had a brother who was into Kerouac and he gave me On The Road to read when I was 12 years old. That's still been a big influence.
David Bowie
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
David Bowie
At no point did I ever doubt I would be as near as anybody could be to England's Elvis Presley. Even from eight or nine years old, I thought, Well, I'll be the greatest rock star in England. I just made up my mind.
David Bowie
Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'
David Bowie
I'm a thinker not a talker.
David Bowie
