David Bowie

Make the best of every moment. We’re not evolving. We’re not going anywhere.

We’ll buy some drugs and watch a band and jump in a river holding hands.

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.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

To this day I’m really not sure if I was playing Ziggy [Stardust] or if Ziggy was exaggerated aspects of my own personality. A fair amount of psychological baggage was undoubtedly coming out through the character. Because I felt awkward and nervous and inadequate with myself, it felt easier to be somebody else.

I’m an instant star. Just add water and stir.

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.

From my point of view, which is that of a storyteller, I see your life as already artful, waiting, just waiting and ready for you to make it art.

Truth exists in art.

I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

I wouldn’t give five cents for all the art in the world.

Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of…recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it.

People with talent are not interested in showing off behind another person.

If you believe in your art and you love what you do, that energy will go out and people will respond.

It is unquestionably true that the need for art is not created by economic conditions. But neither is the need for food created by economics. On the contrary, the need for food and warmth creates economics.

I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.

I’ve always felt that a lot of modern art is a con, and that the most successful painters are often better salesmen and promoters than they are artists.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

The essence of all Art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure.

I believe that all creative people have more than one passion, more than one creative talent.

Creative Arts raise a person to another level of consciousness as if you could imagine life before words.
