Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.
David Bowie

There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
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
Image
My sexual nature is irrelevant. I'm an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.
David Bowie
Image
Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.
David Bowie
Image
I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.

The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
Image
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.

I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.
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

I think the first song I ever wrote ... was called Can't Help Thinking About Me. That's an illuminating little piece, isn't it?

This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
I got a bad migraine that lasted 3 years, and the pills I took made by fingers disappear.
David Bowie
Image
I'm very shy. That's probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.
David Bowie
Image
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
Image
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

Sexuality and where it is going is an extraordinary question, for I don't see it going anywhere. It is with me, and that's it.
David Bowie
Image
I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me, because it's not their profession to do that.

Love is every type of relationship that you think of... I'm sure it means relationship, every type of relationship that you can think of.
