I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.

Who'll love Aladdin Sane? Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise.

Look up here, I'm in heaven.

I'm not sure whether it is me changing my mind, or whether I lie a lot.

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.

You'd like to know me well, but I've got things inside my head that even I can't face.

Trying to tart the rock business up a bit is getting nearer to what the kids themselves are like, because what I find, if you want to talk in the terms of rock, a lot depends on sensationalism and the kids are a lot more sensational than the stars themselves.
