More quotes by David Bowie
Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
David Bowie
Everywhere I looked, demons of the future [were] on the battlegrounds of one’s emotional plane.
David Bowie
However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
David Bowie
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
David Bowie
This is a mad planet, David Bowie said in 1971. It's doomed to madness.
David Bowie
In my madness I see your face in mine.
David Bowie
Some make you sing and some make you scream. One makes you wish that you'd never been seen. But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier mache, making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay. If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
It's odd but even when I was a kid, I would write about 'old and other times' as though I had a lot of years behind me. Now I do, so there is a difference in the weight of memory.
David Bowie
We can't stop trying til we break up our minds, til the sun drips blood on the seedy young knight.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
I'm quite certain that the audience that I've got for my stuff don't listen to the lyrics.
David Bowie
When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.
David Bowie
It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.
David Bowie
I'm regarded quite asexually by a lot of people. And the people that understand me the best are nearer to what I understand about me.
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
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
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
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 think a lot of that album [Tonight ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.
David Bowie
The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
