I'm not sure that an art career would have any benefit for me; I'm not sure it's what I want. I don't think I want to be a designer-rock artist.

A mutual friend knew that we were both [with Iman Abdulmajid] on our own, with broken marriages and with children. We were brought to dinner one night. . . . It was absolutely instantaneous. I couldn't get her out of my mind . . . sleepless nights - real 18-year-old stuff.

I think music should be tarted up, made into a prostitute, a parody of itself. It should be the clown, the Pierrot medium.

You can neither win nor lose if you don't run the race

I think that the history of rock could be recycled in a different way and brought back into focus without the luggage that comes along with it.

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

I think the first experience scared the hell out of me. Within months of my initial marriage [on Angela Bowie], I realized I had done a really naive and rather stupid thing. . . . I don't think either of us had any real resolve about being together. The result was it made me wary of relationships.
