More quotes by David Bowie
For me a chameleon is something that disguises itself to look as much like its environment as possible. I always thought I did exactly the opposite of that.
David Bowie

Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was the first person in rock I had seen with makeup on. He wore black nail polish and lots of mascara and black eye shadow, and he was so mysterious. It was this androgynous thing I found absolutely fascinating.
David Bowie
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

David Bowie
My mother was a housewife. Both from - well, my father was from a farming family, agricultural family in the north of England. And my mother came from a very working class.
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
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe Put your ray gun to my head Press your space face close to mine, love Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!
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
You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
David Bowie
Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
David Bowie
It was fun to be clever.
David Bowie
I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
David Bowie
I guess a certain contingent of the musicians in London at the beginning of the '70s were fed up with denim and the hippies. And I think we kind of wanted to go somewhere else.
