David Bowie
I woke up one day and realized I was a closet hetero
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

David Bowie
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
Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.
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
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie
You can't go on stage and live - it's false all the way. I can't stand the premise of going out in jeans and a guitar and looking as real as you can in front of 18,000 people. I mean, it's not normal!
David Bowie
