More quotes by David Bowie
Make the best of every moment. We're not evolving. We're not going anywhere.
David Bowie
I'll ruin everything you are, I'll give you television.
David Bowie
I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.
David Bowie
Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'
David Bowie
There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.
David Bowie
Don’t you love the Oxford Dictionary? When I first read it, I thought it was a really really long poem about everything.
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.
David Bowie
There's not much point in getting any heavier... there's too many things to read and look at.
David Bowie
Church on time, makes me party.
David Bowie
The media is either our salvation or our death.
David Bowie
Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.
David Bowie
There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists. There are good things and bad things about being an artist, and the good thing is, sometimes you get an inside line on what's really happening. You develop these strange antennae that clue you in to what's really going on.
David Bowie
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
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
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
David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.
David Bowie
Elvis is English, and climbs the hills. Can't tell the bullshit from the lies.
David Bowie
Nothing prepared me for your smile
David Bowie
Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.
David Bowie
TV has eaten up everything else, and Warhol films are all that are left, which is fabulous. Pork could become the next I Love Lucy, the great American domestic comedy. It's about how people really live, not like Lucy, who never touched dishwater. It's about people living and hustling to survive.
David Bowie
