More quotes by David Bowie
I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.
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
The minute you know you're on safe ground, you're dead.
David Bowie
There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds.
David Bowie
I want people to hear musicians like Joe Cuba. He has done things to whole masses of Puerto Rican people. The music is fantastic and important.
David Bowie
Time may change me, but I can't trace time.
David Bowie
The younger people get into the lyrics in a different way there's much more of a tactile understanding, which is the way I prefer it.
David Bowie
You can't put down anybody. You can just try and understand. The emphasis shouldn't be on revolution, it should be on communication. Because it's just going to get more uptight. The more the revolution goes on, and there will be a civil war sooner or later.
David Bowie
I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.
David Bowie
I think that my fascination with clothes generally was motivated by trying to create the characters for the stage.
David Bowie
I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn't talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.
David Bowie
I had a fantasy that i'd drift up to Scotland and spend my life as a faux bodhisattua.
David Bowie
I think the only music I didn't listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.
David Bowie
The only real failure is trying to second-guess the taste of an audience. Nothing comes out of that except a kind of inward humiliation.
David Bowie
You can neither win nor lose if you don't run the race
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
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie
However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
David Bowie
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
David Bowie
Once you lose that sense of wonder at being alive, you're pretty much on the way out.
David Bowie
