More quotes by David Bowie
[While] my life started taking on all the problems of addiction. So that took me off into an area where relationships were absolutely impossible to handle on any real level. . . . Even communicating with other people was impossible.
David Bowie
Hear this Robert Zimmerman, I wrote a song for you, about a strange young man called Dylan with a voice like sand and glue.
David Bowie
The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I'm home.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
David Bowie

David Bowie
It's not the side-effects of the cocaine - I'm thinking that it must be love. It's too late to be grateful, It's too late to be hateful, It's too late to be late again, The European cannon is here.
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
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud.
David Bowie
I don't believe in proper cinema it doesn't have the strength of television. People having to go out to the cinema is really archaic. I'd much rather sit at home.
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
We see each other [ with Iman Abdulmajid] a lot. I couldn't stand to be separated for months. It became quickly apparent to me that I needed to find a balance between my absolute work obsession and a private life that we could share without my disappearing all the time.
David Bowie
I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.
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
