More quotes by David Bowie

At no point did I ever doubt I would be as near as anybody could be to England's Elvis Presley. Even from eight or nine years old, I thought, Well, I'll be the greatest rock star in England. I just made up my mind.

There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.

Would you carry a razor, in case, just in case of depression?
David Bowie

I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.

I'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine.

I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
David Bowie

Having not really written any generational songs - I think maybe two or three of the songs that I've ever written have any bearing on the age of the listener. My stuff tends to be far more concerned with the spiritual and with subjects like isolation and being miserable.
David Bowie
Image
What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.

With Let's Dance, there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.

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.

I probably also wanted to be black at that particular time [ 9 years old] as well.
David Bowie
Image
I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.

Things have to hit for the moment. That's one of the reasons I'm into video the image has to hit immediately. I adore video and the whole cutting up of it.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

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.

I think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
