David Bowie

What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do. ”

Nearly all the synth work on Heathen is mine and some of the piano. ”

I'm just an individual who doesn't feel that I need to have somebody qualify my work in any particular way. I'm working for me. ”

To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me. ”

Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together. ”

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. ”

Tomorrow belongs to those who can hear it coming. ”

I couldn't have written things like 'Low' and 'Heroes,' those particular albums, if it hadn't have been for Berlin and the kind of atmosphere I felt there. ”

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. ”

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated. ”
