Bowie always knows what to say

Daily Bowie quotes

“If you really want to lose all your friends and all of the relationships that you ever held dear, [cocaine] is the drug to do it with. Cocaine severs any link you have with another human being. Maintaining is the problem. You retain a superficial hold on reality so that you can get through the things that you know are absolutely necessary for your survival. But when that stars to break up, which inevitably it does - around 1975 everything was starting to break up. I would work at songs for hours and hours and days and days and then realize that I had done absolutely nothing.”  — David Bowie

“My performances have got to be a theatrical experience for me as well as for the audience. I don’t want to climb out of my fantasies in order to go up on stage - I want to take them on stage with me. I think music should be tarted up, made into a prostitute, a parody of itself” — David Bowie

“The only pipe I have ever smoked was a cheap Bewlay. It was a common item in the late xisties and for this song I used Bewlay as a cognomen - in place of my own. Having said that, I wouldn’t know how to interpret the lyric of this song other than suggesting that there are layers of ghosts within it”
David Bowie on “Bewlay Brothers”
