I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.

More quotes by David Bowie
Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
David Bowie
I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.
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
Radio in England is nonexistent. It's very bad English use of a media system, typically English use.
David Bowie
TV has eaten up everything else, and Warhol films are all that are left, which is fabulous. Pork could become the next I Love Lucy, the great American domestic comedy. It's about how people really live, not like Lucy, who never touched dishwater. It's about people living and hustling to survive.
David Bowie
Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.
David Bowie
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
David Bowie
Never bored, so I'll never get old
David Bowie
When the musical keyboard was created in the 1970's, you had electronic geeks that had no background in music created these devises and gave them to musicians that had no background in electronics. The result was some of the wierd sounds that came out in the '70s.
David Bowie
There seem to be a lot of black artists making very good videos that I'm surprised aren't being used on MTV.
David Bowie
Rock has always been the devil's music... I believe that rock & roll is dangerous... I feel that we're only heralding something even darker than ourselves.
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
They're the salt of the earth, those girls. They don't sit each night and compare notes on groups, criticising lyrics, asking if it's valid. They just play the record... yeah, and maybe they dance. I love them. I love them dearly
David Bowie
And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.
David Bowie
My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.
David Bowie
It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.
David Bowie
I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.
David Bowie
She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.
David Bowie
