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

As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I've got left?

From 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.

From David Bowie

My son's full real name is Duncan Zowie Haywood. As a toddler, he was called by his second name Zowie. But it was such an identifiable name during the Seventies that if I called him loudly in public places, everyone would turn to stare, so I started calling him Joey to take the pressure off.

From David Bowie

I'm very good at what I do, and I don't turn my hand to something unless I'm very good at it, frankly.

From David Bowie

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.

From David Bowie

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.

From David Bowie

I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.

From David Bowie

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.

From David Bowie

I don't see any boundaries between any of the art forms. I think they all inter-relate completely.
