Image
I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it.
David Bowie
Image
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition, and keeps all your dead hair for making underwear.
David Bowie

Hitler was the first superstar.
David Bowie

The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie

I'm bemused by the whole Robbie Williams aspect of British pop. Posh Spice? It all looks like cruise ship entertainment to me.

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming.
David Bowie

TV has eaten up everything else, and Warhol films are all that are left, which is fabulous. Pork could become the next I Love Lucy, the great American domestic comedy. It's about how people really live, not like Lucy, who never touched dishwater. It's about people living and hustling to survive.
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
Image
I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave
David Bowie

All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
Image
My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.
David Bowie
Image
They're the salt of the earth, those girls. They don't sit each night and compare notes on groups, criticising lyrics, asking if it's valid. They just play the record... yeah, and maybe they dance. I love them. I love them dearly
David Bowie
Image
Some make you sing and some make you scream. One makes you wish that you'd never been seen. But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache, making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay. If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.

See the mice in their million hordes From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads.

I once asked [John] Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'it's great, but its just rock and roll with lipstick on'.
David Bowie
Image
With Let's Dance, there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.
David Bowie
Image
[David] Bowie had a genius for continual change himself, reinventing his sound and his image throughout the decades. Each album seemed to find Bowie in a different persona, with a new sound to match his new look.

Lou Reed is the most important definitive writer in modern rock. Not because of the stuff that he does, but the direction that he will take it.
