Quote

I don't believe in proper cinema it doesn't have the strength of television. People having to go out to the cinema is really archaic. I'd much rather sit at home.

You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
David Bowie

I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.

I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.

The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.

Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.

It was fun to be clever.

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
Image
I don't have stylistic loyalty. That's why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.
David Bowie
Image
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie

I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.

[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.
David Bowie
Image
I liked rock music, I kind of moved into that sphere, somehow thinking that somewhere along the line I'd be able to put the two together. And I suppose I very nearly did with the Ziggy character.
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

For here Am I sitting in a tin can, Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, And there's nothing I can do.

In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
David Bowie

I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.
