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.

I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in denial that I was originally an overweight Korean woman.
David Bowie
Image
When I was going through those very fast changes, I think it was terribly important to me that I was seen to be inventive. I think that was the characteristic of my work that I wanted people to see.
David Bowie
Image
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

The character thing really is sort of, for me, personally, rather ancient history.
David Bowie
Image
I'm not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I'm living on.
David Bowie
Image
I have found myself deeply, deeply intrigued by the ska-punk scene. It's such an expressive form of popular music, it's so real, it's got so much life: it's the most vital music in the world.

My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I'm home.
