David Bowie citáty a výroky

„Nevím, kudy se vydám, ale slibuji, že to nebude nuda.“

David Bowie

„Kupodivu to ve skutečnosti nebyl Lou Reed, kdo mě přitahoval ke skupině The Velvet Underground. Pro mě byl zvukem kapely John Cale. To se potvrdilo o několik let později, když jsem pracoval s Lou Reedem na albu Transformer. John byl subverzivní element kapely, jeden z nejpodceňovanějších hudebníků v historii rockové hudby. Ten chlap je nebezpečný, skutečný charakter. Nenapadá mě nikdo děsivnější a temnější. Lou Reed je v porovnání s ním sborový zpěvák.“

David Bowie

Originál: (en) Oddly, it was not really Lou Reed who attracted me to the Velvet. To me, the sound of the band was John Cale. That was confirmed a few years later when I worked with Lou on Transformer. John was the subversive element of the band, one of the most underrated musicians in rock history. That guy is a danger, a true character. I cannot think of anybody more terrifying and dark. Lou Reed is a choirboy compared to him.

David Bowie

„Když jsem na scéně, cítím se spíš jako herec než jako rockový umělec. Jako rockový umělec se cítím moc málokdy. Nemyslím si, že by to bylo tak úplně povolání, hrát rock and roll.“

“Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in.”

Rebel Rebel
Song lyrics, Diamond Dogs (1974)

“Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners.
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed.”

Absolute Beginners (1986)
Song lyrics

“It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen.
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more.”

China Girl, written with Iggy Pop — Video at YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A34kCOtegQ <br class="br">Song lyrics, Let's Dance (1983)

“[While filming 'Ashes to Ashes'] So we're on the beach shooting this scene with a giant bulldozer. The camera was on a very long lens. [The camera is along way away, but the artist fills the frame] In this video I'm dressed from head to toe in a clown suit. Why not. I hear playback and the music starts. So off I go, I start singing and walking, but as soon as I do this old geezer with an old dog walk right between me and the camera… Well, knowing this is gonna take a while I walked past the old guy and sat next to camera in my full costume waiting for him to pass. As he is walking by camera the director said, excuse me Mr do you know who this is? The old guy looks at me from bottom to top and looks back to the director and said… "Of course I do!!!! its some cunt in a clown suit."”

That was a huge moment for me, It put me back in my place and made me realize, yes I'm just a cunt in a clown suit. I think about that old guy all the time.

After All
Song lyrics, The Man Who Sold the World (1970)

“I suppose I’ve been knocking on heaven’s door for about 11 years now, with one sort of high or another. The only kinds of drugs I use, though, are ones that keep me working for longer periods of time. I haven’t gotten involved in anything heavy since ’68. I had a silly flirtation with smack then, but it was only for the mystery and enigma of trying it. I never really enjoyed it at all. I like fast drugs. I’ve said that many times. I hate falling out, where I can’t stand up and stuff. It seems like such a waste of time. I hate downs and slow drugs like grass. I hate sleep. I would much prefer staying up, just working, all the time. It makes me so mad that we can’t do anything about sleep or the common cold.”

Modern love — walks beside me.

Church on time — terrifies me.

Church on time — puts my trust in God and man.
God and man — no confessions.
God and man — no religion.
God and man — don't believe in modern love.”

Then they take back everything that you have
They live upon their feet and they die upon their knees
They can work with satan while they dress like the saints
They know god exists for the devil told them so
They scream my name aloud down into the well below”

All The Young Dudes, performed by Mott the Hoople
Song lyrics

“You've got your mother in a whirl
She's not sure if you're a boy or a girl.
Hey babe, your hair's alright.
Hey babe, let's go out tonight.
You like me, and I like it all.
We like dancing and we look divine.
You love bands when they're playing hard.
You want more and you want it fast.”

Aladdin Sane
Song lyrics, Aladdin Sane (1973)

“In the corner of the morning in the past
I would sit and blame the master first and last.
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the prayers were small and yellow.
And the rumour spread that I was aging fast.
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping
By a tree.
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me.”

Song lyrics, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972)

“Day after day
They send my friends away
To mansions cold and grey.
To the far side of town
Where the thin men stalk the streets
While the sane stay underground.Day after day,
They tell me I can go.
They tell me I can blow
To the far side of town
Where it's pointless to be high,
'Cause it's such a long way down.”
