I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time. – David Bowie
I dont profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance. – David Bowie
Since the departure of good old-fashioned entertainers the re-emergence of somebody who wants to be an entertainer has unfortunately become a synonym for camp. I dont think Im camper than any other person who felt at home on stage, and felt more at home on stage than he did offstage. – David Bowie
I suppose for me as an artist it wasnt always just about expressing my work I really wanted, more than anything else, to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go. – David Bowie
