More quotes by David Bowie
There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.
David Bowie
I'm not a natural performer. I don't like performing very much.
David Bowie
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition, and keeps all your dead hair for making underwear.
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
[David] Bowie's last album Blackstar featured him backed by a jazz quartet.
David Bowie
The world that I inhabit in reality is probably very different world than the one people expect that I would be in. It is quite sedate. It's far removed from a lot of what they would feel to be the limousine traveling rock existence, or whatever.
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
Ground control to Major Tom.
David Bowie
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.
David Bowie
I'm a thinker not a talker.
David Bowie
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
David Bowie
I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
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.
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
If I wasn't going through a thing where I was also being my characters offstage, uh, I'm much happier just wearing the most low-profile things that I can come up with just so I can get down the street.
David Bowie
Always drawn to the theatric, Bowie also performed in stage productions of The Elephant Man and just recently collaborated on Lazarus, an off-Broadway musical that's a sequel to his 1976 role in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth.
David Bowie
I've made over 25 studio albums, and I think probably I've made two real stinkers in my time, and some not-bad albums, and some really good albums. I'm proud of what I've done. In fact it's been a good ride.
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
It was fun to be clever.
David Bowie
