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.

More quotes by 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.
David Bowie
However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
David Bowie
I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.
David Bowie
I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.
David Bowie
Someday, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter Someday, I'm gonna get that faculty together.
David Bowie
I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.
David Bowie
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
David Bowie
Is it Nice in your snowstorm- freezing your brain? Do you think that your face looks the same?
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
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
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.
David Bowie
My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
David Bowie
I'm a thinker not a talker.
David Bowie
There have been times when I've written something and it goes out and it comes back in a letter from some kid as to what they think about it and I've taken their analysis to heart so much that I have taken up his thing. Writing what my audience is telling me to write.
David Bowie
I don't expect the human race to progress in too many areas. However, having a child with an ear infection makes one hugely grateful for antibiotics.
David Bowie
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
David Bowie
I don't have stylistic loyalty. That's why people perceive me changing all the time. But there is a real continuity in my subject matter. As an artist of artifice, I do believe I have more integrity than any one of my contemporaries.
David Bowie
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition, and keeps all your dead hair for making underwear.
David Bowie
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.
David Bowie
I'm gay and always have been, even when I was David Jones.
David Bowie
