It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.

More quotes by David Bowie
Nothing prepared me for your smile
David Bowie
The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.
David Bowie
With Let's Dance, there was actually a chance that I was actually going to be able to keep the money I had made.
David Bowie
I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie
I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.
David Bowie
We slit the Catholic throat, stoned the poor on such slogans as wish you could hear and love is all we need.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
The public, obviously, they takes things in a very simplest fashion and so they should. That's why we have such wonderful television.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Feeling so gay, feeling so gay.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.
David Bowie
I'm still younger than Jagger... Most people are.
David Bowie
I liked rock music, I kind of moved into that sphere, somehow thinking that somewhere along the line I'd be able to put the two together. And I suppose I very nearly did with the Ziggy character.
David Bowie
Mine is really - Ziggy Stardust, characters, Let's Dance. That's me in the American.
David Bowie
All art is unstable. Its meaning is not necessarily that implied by the author. There is no authoritative voice. There are only multiple readings.
David Bowie
To be taken seriously about doing something creative and probably travel a lot. That was my motivation. I knew I was good, I knew I could write. I also knew you could get laid really easily.
David Bowie
I was told that it was cool to fall in love, and that period was nothing like that to me. I gave too much of my time and energy to another person and they did the same to me and we started burning out against each other. And that is what is termed love.
David Bowie
Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
David Bowie
Never bored, so I'll never get old
David Bowie
