I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
David Bowie
Image
Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.
David Bowie
Image
Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together.
David Bowie
Image
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
David Bowie
Image
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
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.

Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.
David Bowie
Image
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.
David Bowie

The media is either our salvation or our death.
David Bowie
Image
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
Image
This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
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.
David Bowie

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.
David Bowie
Image
I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.
David Bowie
Image
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

It was fun to be clever.
David Bowie

I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.
