David Bowie

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
My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.
David Bowie
Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.
David Bowie
Comfort comes into your house first as guest, then as a host, then finally as the master.
David Bowie
