At no point did I ever doubt I would be as near as anybody could be to England's Elvis Presley. Even from eight or nine years old, I thought, Well, I'll be the greatest rock star in England. I just made up my mind.

More quotes by David Bowie
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.
David Bowie
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
If you come from art, you'll always be art.
David Bowie
In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
David Bowie
They're the salt of the earth, those girls. They don't sit each night and compare notes on groups, criticising lyrics, asking if it's valid. They just play the record... yeah, and maybe they dance. I love them. I love them dearly
David Bowie
The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.
David Bowie
I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.
David Bowie
I've been putting out the fire with gasoline.
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
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth.
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
I can't keep my fingers out of any pies.
David Bowie
When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.
David Bowie
Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.
David Bowie
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
David Bowie
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years.
David Bowie
The sun machine is coming down, and we're gonna have a party.
David Bowie
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers.
David Bowie
Would you carry a razor, in case, just in case of depression?
David Bowie
I don't like to read things that people write about me. I'd rather read what kids have to say about me, because it's not their profession to do that.
David Bowie
