I don't expect the human race to progress in too many areas. However, having a child with an ear infection makes one hugely grateful for antibiotics.

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.

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

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.

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

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle. The rock stars have assimilated all kinds of philosophies, styles, histories, writings, and they throw out what they have gleaned from that.

I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.
David Bowie

But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.
David Bowie

The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
David Bowie

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.

She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.

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

I think the first song I ever wrote ... was called Can't Help Thinking About Me. That's an illuminating little piece, isn't it?
David Bowie

You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!

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.
