More quotes by David Bowie
I've been putting out the fire with gasoline.
David Bowie
I think Lindsay Kemp really introduced me to the work of Jean Genet, and through that, I kind of kept re-educating myself about other prose writers and poets.
David Bowie
I'm not at ease with the word love.
David Bowie
I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.
David Bowie
To be taken seriously about doing something creative and probably travel a lot. That was my motivation. I knew I was good, I knew I could write. I also knew you could get laid really easily.
David Bowie
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.
David Bowie
Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.
David Bowie
There's a terror in knowing what the world is about
David Bowie
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
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
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
There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.
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
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years.
David Bowie
I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
David Bowie
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
David Bowie
The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
You can neither win nor lose if you don't run the race
David Bowie
Ironically, style doesn't come even closely related to fashion. It's got nothing to do [with clothes].
David Bowie
Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.
David Bowie
