David Bowie
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
David Bowie
I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.
David Bowie
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie
You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!
David Bowie

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
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
It was fun to be clever.
David Bowie
Make the best of every moment. We're not evolving. We're not going anywhere.
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
I'm not at ease with the word love.
David Bowie
I can ask for cigarettes in every language
David Bowie
Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
David Bowie
