David Bowie

I'm not a normal person. I'm an alien.

I'm not a role model. I'm a human being.

I'm not a cult leader. I'm just a guy who makes music.

I'm not a saint. I'm just a guy who tries to do his best.

I'm not a sex object. I'm a person.

I'm not a messiah. I'm a messenger.

As you get older, the questions get bigger and the answers get smaller.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that I'll run out of ideas.

I re-invented my image so many times that I'm in danger of being jailed for falsification of personality.

I've always been a very shy person. I'm just very good at pretending I'm not.

You can be as mad as a hatter and as brilliant as a star.

I'm a born-again atheist.

I'm just a person who's very interested in things. I'm a very curious person.

I don't ever feel I'm a musician. I feel I'm a storyteller.

I'm a collector. I'm a pack rat. I'm a hoarder.

I wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be a rock star. I wanted to be a movie star. I wanted to be a Broadway star. I wanted to be an opera singer. I wanted to be a painter. I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to be a poet. I wanted to be a dancer. I wanted to be a choreographer. I wanted to be a fashion designer. I wanted to be a journalist. I wanted to be an astronaut. I wanted to be a brain surgeon. I wanted to be a nuclear physicist. I wanted to be a chef. I wanted to be a carpenter. I wanted to be a plumber. I wanted to be a priest. I wanted to be a nun. I wanted to be a prostitute. I wanted to be a saint. I wanted to be a sinner. I wanted to be everything.

I was always a shy boy. I was always very introverted, and I found it very difficult to talk to people.

I'm a complete anachronism. I'm a dinosaur. I'm a relic.

I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.

I'm a bit of a control freak, I guess. I like to be in charge of everything.
