David Bowie on fame

I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I’m not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.

I’ve come to the realisation that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing half the time.

I get offered so many bad movies. And they’re all raging queens or transvestites or Martians.

In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.

Love of fame is the last thing even learned men can bear to be parted from.
