It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I'm home.

[David] Bowie's last album "Blackstar" featured him backed by a jazz quartet.

[David] Bowie had a genius for continual change himself, reinventing his sound and his image throughout the decades. Each album seemed to find Bowie in a different persona, with a new sound to match his new look.

I've come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing half the time...

Someday, I'm gonna write a poem in a letter; Someday, I'm gonna get that faculty together.

I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.

Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It's because I'm not quite an atheist and it worries me. There's that little bit that holds on: 'Well, I'm almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.'
