I'm a blackstar. I'm a blackstar.
David Bowie

Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.
David Bowie

When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.
David Bowie

You would think that a rock star being married to a super-model would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.

There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.

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.

The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
Image
For here Am I sitting in a tin can, Far above the world. Planet Earth is blue, And there's nothing I can do.
David Bowie

I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
David Bowie

I'm afraid of Americans I'm afraid of the world I'm afraid I can't help it.

She's a total bam bam.

Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
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.

Speak in extremes, it'll save you time.

I think every time I said, I'm working with Nile [Rodgers], the reaction was, Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make Let's Dance. We just wanted to work together again.

When I was going through those very fast changes, I think it was terribly important to me that I was seen to be inventive. I think that was the characteristic of my work that I wanted people to see.
