Bowie is a musician, but he works like a painter. Thom always thought that we should aspire to that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One thing that has really influenced me with Bowie where I've taken an approach from him is how he changes from album to album and has always modified his sound and his appearance. I think that's an important thing.
Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love 'Young Americans' and 'Fame.'
Every collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it's different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He's very quick.
Bowie's been a huge influence on me.
Bowie has been in my mind as someone who disappeared from the public for a long time and then emerged. A strange, exotic creature - he seems to inherit a tradition of enigma and exclusiveness.
Bowie's obviously my biggest influence.
David Bowie is such a big influence to me. Everything about him as a person is intriguing to me.
How I love David Bowie.
Somebody like Bowie was so interesting because when you got him off stage, he was like a businessman. But on stage, he was just dazzling. It was like watching butterflies grow.
Bowie is just a persona. He's a singer, an entertainer. David Jones is a man I met.
