Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was the first person in rock I had seen with makeup on. He wore black nail polish and lots of mascara and black eye shadow, and he was so mysterious. It was this androgynous thing I found absolutely fascinating.

I ask for so little.Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave
David Bowie
It amazes me sometimes that even intelligent people will analyze a situation or make a judgement after only recognizing the standard or traditional structure of a piece.
David Bowie
But I've got to think of myself as the luckiest guy. Robert Johnson only had one album's worth of work as his legacy. That's all that life allowed him.
David Bowie
I feel that what I do is always contemporary with the society I'm living in... If I wanted to explain myself, that's how I'd explain myself: that I'm a diarist.
David Bowie
Things have to hit for the moment. That's one of the reasons I'm into video the image has to hit immediately. I adore video and the whole cutting up of it.
David Bowie

David Bowie
She's a total bam bam.
David Bowie

If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.
David Bowie
You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.
David Bowie
There was a time in America not long ago when rock 'n' roll was called race music, and white kids who wanted to go see Chuck Berry were completely forbidden.
David Bowie
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it's not going to happen. I'm fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
David Bowie
I believe that I often bring out the best in somebody's talents.
David Bowie
It's not the side effects of the cocaine. . . . I'm thinking that it must be love.
David Bowie
Since early middle ages when people generally taking away the barbarity of their like, were pretty content. Although it was all an illicit contentment, what with the slave systems all over the world, in England especially, the peasants and the master, etc. People were incredibly content.
David Bowie
Make the best of every moment. We're not evolving. We're not going anywhere.
David Bowie
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go.
David Bowie
In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
David Bowie
Is it Nice in your snowstorm- freezing your brain? Do you think that your face looks the same?
David Bowie
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.
