I rate Morrissey as one of the best lyricists in Britain. For me, hes up there with Bryan Ferry. – 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
Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So its like, just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. Youd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because thats really the only unique situation thats going to be left. – David Bowie
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
