When I heard Little Richard, I...

When I heard Little Richard, I mean, it just set my world on fire.

David Bowie 397 quotes

When I'm stuck for a closing t...

When I'm stuck for a closing to a lyric, I will drag out my last resort: overwhelming illogic.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I felt I really wanted to back...

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 397 quotes

I'm very at ease, and I like i...

I'm very at ease, and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am, because I'm actually like my dad!

David Bowie 397 quotes

Questioning my spiritual life ...

Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'

David Bowie 397 quotes

I never could get over the fac...

I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I suppose for me as an artist ...

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work; I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

David Bowie 397 quotes

That's the shock: All cliches ...

That's the shock: All cliches are true. The years really do speed by. Life really is as short as they tell you it is. And there really is a God - so do I buy that one? If all the other cliches are true... Hell, don't pose me that one.

David Bowie 397 quotes

But I've got to think of mysel...

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 397 quotes

However, there's no theme or c...

However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.

David Bowie 397 quotes

It would be my guess that Mado...

It would be my guess that Madonna is not a very happy woman. From my own experience, having gone through persona changes like that, that kind of clawing need to be the center of attention is not a pleasant place to be.

David Bowie 397 quotes

Since the departure of good ol...

Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I don't think I'm camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage.

David Bowie 397 quotes

There's a schizoid streak with...

There's a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I'm affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn't want to leave. He likes it very much.

David Bowie 397 quotes

There, in the chords and melod...

There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what for me is inexpressible by any other means.

David Bowie 397 quotes

And I saw the sax line-up that...

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I'm going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I'm going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I don't profess to have music ...

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 397 quotes

I realized the other day that ...

I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange; I never thought I would be.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I wish myself to be a prop, if...

I wish myself to be a prop, if anything, for my songs. I want to be the vehicle for my songs. I would like to colour the material with as much visual expression as is necessary for that song.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I'm well past the age where I'...

I'm well past the age where I'm acceptable. You get to a certain age and you are forbidden access. You're not going to get the kind of coverage that you would like in music magazines, you're not going to get played on radio and you're not going to get played on television. I have to survive on word of mouth.

David Bowie 397 quotes

I've made over 25 studio album...

I've made over 25 studio albums, and I think probably I've made two real stinkers in my time, and some not-bad albums, and some really good albums. I'm proud of what I've done. In fact it's been a good ride.
