“ ”Some make you sing and some make you scream,
One makes you wish that you'd never been seen.
But there's a shop on the corner that's selling papier-mache,
Making bullet-proof faces, Charlie Manson, Cassius Clay.
If you want it, boys, get it here, thing.

Additional quotes by David Bowie
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream, oh yeah!
- <i>Moonage Daydream</i>
My brain hurt like a warehouse
It had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
And all the fat-skinny people
And all the tall-short people
And all the nobody people
And all the somebody people
I never thought I'd need so many people.
- <i>Five Years</i>
Even though it was enormously successful, there was no growth going on at all. They were very hard years to get through, to find any sense of purpose. I wasn't allowing myself the service of being who I really am as an artist. I'd given myself dreadful parameters in confining myself to merely what I presumed people wanted.
I never wanted to do this. I never wanted to be out there pleasing people. I wanted to be really stubborn and have people like what I like, not give them what they like.
