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

I don't like people probing into my life, so I reveal as little as possible or lie about it as much as need be so as to give them something to write about.

The world that I inhabit in reality is probably very different world than the one people expect that I would be in. It is quite sedate. It's far removed from a lot of what they would feel to be the limousine traveling rock existence, or whatever.

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I'm a pop singer for Christ's sake. As a person, I'm fairly uncomplicated.

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

People are always throwing things at me that I've said and I say that I didn't mean anything.

The end comes when the infinites arrive.
