Over 30 years ago, DavidBowie opened up to i-D about the price of fame, the one album he regretted and his heroes.
It was the very first interview I ever did and it happened completely by accident. I was an extra pair of hands at the magazine and there had been a decision to put more established stars on the cover rather than people at the beginning of their careers, like Madonna . I offered to help set up certain interviews and Bowie was someone who was suggested to start with. It took ages dealing with his PR, who was friendly, but there did seem to be a lot of red tape.
No, I don't think I would have had the strength of mind at the time to want to go out and just sing my songs straight off. For me, it's always been about developing an interesting character. But it's not true so much now.No more than anybody else. It's nice to have neighbours and friends. I'm quite self-contained when I want to be. I like to get away from it all occasionally but I like a social life and I have a good one, so I'd miss that if I didn't have it.
Yeah, exactly! If it's anywhere between February and April then that's exactly what I'd be doing. Other times of the year, frankly I work. I don't think I spend a day without jotting something down. Even if it's one sentence. If I go through a week and haven't written a good paragraph or two of ideas I feel as though I've been really lazy.Oh yeah. But I can't understand a word.
When you're young you think that every day-to-day thing you do and say is sacred but when you get older, you realise that one's actions in the scheme of things are virtually undetectable.Immeasurably. But it grew slowly. I had the usual father thing - what's this funny little creature, wandering around, sort of gurgling. It wasn't until he started toddling that I realised what a ray of sunshine had come into my life.
