Quotes

  • Camilla Koldhas quoted5 years ago
    As he said in 1976, “The minute you know you’re on safe ground, you’re dead. You’re finished. It’s over. The last thing I want is to be established.”
  • Camilla Koldhas quoted5 years ago
    By contrast, Bowie always delighted in presenting a moving target. Making no attempt to conceal his own short attention span and his assimilation of new enthusiasms, he constantly challenged our complacency as consumers, writing and rewriting the parameters of his work on the tabula rasa he called David Bowie.
  • Camilla Koldhas quoted5 years ago
    Bowie may not have invented glam, but the point is that he conquered it.
