I think it's rather a waste of time endlessly singing the same songs every night for a year, and it's just not what I want to do.

I went through all the musicians in my life who I admire as bright, intelligent, virtuosic players.

I don't make changes to confuse anyone. I'm just searching. That's what causes me to change. I'm just searching for myself.

I think much has been made of this alter ego business. I mean, I actually stopped creating characters in 1975 - for albums, anyway.

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.

If I hadn't had my children, I would have been discouraged a lot quicker. It would have been much more easy for me to say, "You know what, let the whole thing go. Have a good time, because these people, this place - it's just not worth it." You know? I can't do that anymore. I look into those eyes and they look at me so trustingly that I'm gonna make sure that [they're thinking], "Hey, you did a good thing bringing me into the world, daddy. I'm going to have a great life!"

I'll place my love beneath the stars.
