More quotes by David Bowie
I don't live for the stage. I don't live for an audience.
David Bowie
It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
David Bowie
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.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Don't let me hear you say life takes you nowhere, angel.
David Bowie

David Bowie
All the great mystical religions put a strong emphasis on the redeeming qualities of sex.
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.
David Bowie

David Bowie
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place.
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
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.
David Bowie
I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image.
David Bowie
I really wanted to do, more than anything else, up until I was around 16, 17, was write musicals.
David Bowie
The people who don't know so much about me regard me more sexually.
David Bowie
I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.
David Bowie
Look up here, I'm in heaven.
David Bowie
I usually don't agree with what I say very much. I'm an awful liar.
David Bowie
