From David Bowie's comment in the book:
1971: "If no one is using rock and roll to express themselves, then I'll do it."
1972 ◎ "Why can't I wear something outlandish? When I go on stage, I want to give my best performance."
1973 ◎ "Half the time, there was no need to sing. Japanese people understand stage performance better than British or American people."
1974: "Mick Jagger was stupid. He said he shouldn't show me anything new."
1975: "I was completely out of control. I was completely broken as a person."
1976: "I realized that experimenting and finding new musical expressions was what I had to do."
1978: "I'm a born traveller. I just love it. I can't stop. I'm always on the move."
1980 ◎ "(Upon hearing of John Lennon's death) What on earth is this?! What on earth has happened to the world?!"
