[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

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.

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

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.

I have to take total control myself. I can't let anybody else do anything, for I find that I can do things better for me. I don't want to get other people playing with what they think that I'm trying to do.

The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.

Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.

I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.

There's a taste in my mouth and it's no taste at all.

Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.

Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.

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