You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.
David Bowie

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

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.
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!
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.

David Bowie

The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.
David Bowie
Image
I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.
David Bowie
Image
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.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.
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
Image
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
David Bowie
Image
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?

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.
