David Bowie

I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, 'Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman.'

I'm an instant star. Just add water and stir.

I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in danger of becoming a parody of myself.

I find it easier to be as surreal as possible.

I was never a natural. I think of myself as a caner. I had to work very, very hard to get to where I am.

I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring.

I'm just a storyteller, and I use the medium of music.

I'm an atheist, thank God.

I always felt a bit of an outsider, and I think that's good. It makes you observe more.

I suspect that I am a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. I like to tell tales.

I'm not a rock star. I'm a rock god.

I'm a born again pagan.

I'm not content with just being a musician. I want to be an artist.

I'm not a minimalist. I'm a maximalist.

I'm an omnivore. I'll eat anything.

I'm not a religious person, but I'm spiritual.

I'm a complete anachronism. I'm a Victorian gentleman in a modern world.

I'm not a normal person. I'm a bit strange.

I'm not a fashion icon. I'm just a guy who likes to dress up.

I'm not a chameleon. I'm a magician.
