More quotes by 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.
David Bowie
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
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
David Bowie
[While] my life started taking on all the problems of addiction. So that took me off into an area where relationships were absolutely impossible to handle on any real level. . . . Even communicating with other people was impossible.
David Bowie
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
David Bowie

David Bowie
There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.
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
People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
David Bowie
But I'm pretty good with collaborative thinking. I work well with other people.
David Bowie
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.
David Bowie
Some make you sing and some make you scream. One makes you wish that you'd never been seen. But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache, making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay. If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
The media is either our salvation or our death.
David Bowie
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
David Bowie
