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

Wham, bam, thank you Ma'am.

It took me a long time to reach the bottom and it went through various stages. I went from drugs into an alcohol stage. For a while, one feels, Ah, I've kicked drugs, but what I discovered was I had another addiction instead.

In fact, in Europe, I'm more kind of this bloke what writes lots of stuff.
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
Image
I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

Some people are marching together and some on their own. Others are running, the smaller ones crawl. But some sit in silence.
