David Bowie Art Quotations

I don't see any boundaries between any of the art forms. I think they all inter-relate completely.

I felt I really wanted to back off from music completely and just work within the visual arts in some way. I started painting quite passionately at that time.

All art really does is keep you focused on questions of humanity, and it really is about how do we get on with our maker.

Art was, seriously, the only thing I'd ever wanted to own. It has always been for me a stable nourishment. I use it. It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.

There are times when I prefer a cerebral moment with an artist, and I'll just enjoy the wit of a Picabia or a Duchamp. It amuses me that they thought that what they did would be a good way of making art.

If you come from art, you'll always be art.

The only art I'll ever study is stuff I can steal from.

All art is unstable. Its meaning is not necessarily that implied by the author. There is no authoritative voice. There are only multiple readings.

I'll ruin everything you are, I'll give you television.

Illusion I will be, for I've never been a sinner.

Oooh, fashion, we are the goon squad and were coming to town, beep beep.

If I put faith in medication, if I can smile a crooked smile, if I can talk on television, if I can walk an empty mile.

I turned myself to face me, but I've never caught a glimpse of how the others must see the faker.

Fame, what you like is in the Limo. Fame, what you get is no tomorrow.

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough.

I've started doing book reviews for Barnes & Noble! They saw that I did a lot of book reviews on the site, and they figured that it might not be a bad thing if they got me to do some for them as well. I gave them five categories I'd be interested in reviewing, from art to fiction to music.
