David Bowie
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
David Bowie
People look to me to see what the spirit of the Seventies is.
David Bowie
Comfort comes into your house first as guest, then as a host, then finally as the master.

Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.
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
Ground control to Major Tom.
