Never bored, so I'll never get old

I spent so much time in my bedroom. It really was my entire world. I had books up there, my music up there, my record player. Going from my world upstairs out onto the street, I had to pass through this no-man's-land of the living room, you know, and out the front hall.

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.

I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.

Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was the first person in rock I had seen with makeup on. He wore black nail polish and lots of mascara and black eye shadow, and he was so mysterious. It was this androgynous thing I found absolutely fascinating.

If you come from art, you'll always be art.

There's not much point in getting any heavier... there's too many things to read and look at.

People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.

Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.

This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie

I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
Image
When I was going through those very fast changes, I think it was terribly important to me that I was seen to be inventive. I think that was the characteristic of my work that I wanted people to see.

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.
