Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.
David Bowie

Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
David Bowie

Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
David Bowie

Visions of swastikas in my head, plans for everyone. It's in the Whites of my eyes.
David Bowie

I really believe that Bob Dylan and others have speeded up the changes. Pacifism has found a voice at last.
David Bowie

It's much easier for me to say that, the kind of music I didn't listen to was pretty much that. I mean everything, from jazz to classical to popular. And Tibetan horns were a great part of it in 1966, '67.

Lou Reed is the most important definitive writer in modern rock. Not because of the stuff that he does, but the direction that he will take it.
David Bowie

There's just some dysfunctionalism with artists. There are good things and bad things about being an artist, and the good thing is, sometimes you get an inside line on what's really happening. You develop these strange antennae that clue you in to what's really going on.
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

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.

Make the best of every moment. We're not evolving. We're not going anywhere.
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.

In my madness I see your face in mine.
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?
David Bowie
Image
I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.
David Bowie

I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie

I was studying Tibetan Buddhism when I was quite young, again influenced by Kerouac.
David Bowie

When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.

David Bowie emerged as a rock star in the late '60s. And as Ken Tucker wrote, In the face of the hippy era's sincerity, intimacy and generosity, Bowie presented irony, distance and self-absorption. His song 'Changes' announced the arrival of a new counterculture, unquote.
