“I think that if you bang your head against the wall trying to create, you’re going to resent the process of creation. Usually when you reach an impasse it’s a signal to move on to another thing. Maybe you haven’t slept in a while. Maybe you need some time to ponder, to just stare at the wall. Maybe you need to live, truly be alive for a little and not near a computer. Maybe you need to read, see, watch—to refill your well.”

★Happy Birthday David Bowie (David Robert Jones) 1947 January 8th - ∞★

‘’There is an incredible naivety in terms of how we want our entertainers, especially in rock music to be . I think the expectations always are ‘’performer is supposed to be real, telling his life story and having this kind of integrity to a style’’. And I don’t have any of those things, you see. I don’t have integrity to a musical style of music, I do what I like. And I’m not particularly trying to be my real self on stage. And I think that just irritates people (laughs). Fortunately. It’s one of the best things that I can do. I can really irritate people. I’m not out there to be a real person. That’s not what I do. I present an interesting alternative idea of what you can do with rock. It’s simple as that, really’’.
