I'm really quite bipolar, and the depressed times, when everything felt like night, sometimes you get to such a low point that you physically beat at it until it bleeds - as you would say - bleeds till sunshine.

More quotes by David Bowie
I think every time I said, I'm working with Nile [Rodgers], the reaction was, Oh, great. I love 'Let's Dance.' I think that's pretty expected. I'm not sure Nile and I went in consciously not to make Let's Dance. We just wanted to work together again.
David Bowie
My particular thing is discovering what can be done with media and how it can be used. You can't draw people together like one big huge family, people don't want that. They want isolation or a tribal thing.
David Bowie
Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.
David Bowie
On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
David Bowie
People will keep the TV on even if a show is on that they hate - because, unfortunately, they've been programmed to do that.
David Bowie
Time may change me, but I can't trace time.
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
I'm a born librarian with a sex drive.
David Bowie
I just tried everything out - I mean, everything. Even my sexual orientation I was just searching for what I really wanted. And I didn't quite know.
David Bowie
When the musical keyboard was created in the 1970's, you had electronic geeks that had no background in music created these devises and gave them to musicians that had no background in electronics. The result was some of the wierd sounds that came out in the '70s.
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
I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.
David Bowie
The moment you know you know you know.
David Bowie
I'm a phallus in pigtails, and there's blood on my nose, and my tissue is rotting where the rats chew my bones. And my eye sockets empty, see nothing but pain, I keep having this brainstorm about twelve times a day.
David Bowie
It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction seconds after its birth. Everything falls into a feeling of 'rightness'.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie
And it's always the same kind of artist, I think, who has more enjoyment being slightly on the outside of things, who doesn't want to be sucked into the tyranny of the mainstream. Because once you get sucked into that, you're dead as an artist.
David Bowie
In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
David Bowie
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.
David Bowie
