David Bowie on music

I think fame itself is not a rewarding thing. The most you can say is that it gets you a seat in restaurants.

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.

If music be the food of love, play on.

William Shakespeare1564–1616Twelfth Night (1601), Act I, scene i.In context

Music makes one feel so romantic⁠—at least it always gets on one’s nerves⁠—which is the same thing nowadays.

Oscar Wilde1854–1900

• Love

Talking about music is like dancing about architecture.
