More quotes by David Bowie
I haven't changed my views much since I was about 12, really, I've just got a 12-year-old mentality.When I was in school I had a brother who was into Kerouac and he gave me On The Road to read when I was 12 years old. That's still been a big influence.
David Bowie
Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano.
David Bowie
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
David Bowie
I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.
David Bowie
They're the salt of the earth, those girls. They don't sit each night and compare notes on groups, criticising lyrics, asking if it's valid. They just play the record... yeah, and maybe they dance. I love them. I love them dearly
David Bowie
Fame puts you there where things are hollow.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Bully for you, chilly for me, got to get a raincheck on pain.
David Bowie

David Bowie
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
It's odd but even when I was a kid, I would write about 'old and other times' as though I had a lot of years behind me. Now I do, so there is a difference in the weight of memory.
David Bowie
Listen to me, don't listen to me. Talk to me, don't talk to me.
David Bowie
[David] Bowie's last album Blackstar featured him backed by a jazz quartet.
David Bowie
I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.
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'm bemused by the whole Robbie Williams aspect of British pop. Posh Spice? It all looks like cruise ship entertainment to me.
David Bowie
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
David Bowie
It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
