I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie

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'.

There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.
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

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I'm home.
David Bowie

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
Image
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.

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

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
Image
Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.
David Bowie
Image
In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.

Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.

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