We are still engaged in a passionate painter. As an eternal inspiration states the classical composer Richard Strauss. Live and Well, we would say .. I am instant star. We only need to add a little water and stir.

Hardly anyone remembers me in a thousand years.

I can not even imagine how many thousands of times and how many thousands of people came up to me and say, "Hey, let's stantsuem» (Let's dance, «Come stantsuem" - one of the most famous singles Bowie. - Esquire). God, I hate to dance. This is so stupid.

Here in New York, I often cry out: Hey, Bowie! That's fine, it suits me. Because in all of London shouting "Dave", and for that I want to smash their fucking heads. My name is David  Bowie and I hate it when people call me Dave. I think, incidentally, that all this is well known.

I never wanted to become an American until the end. Therefore, everything that I buy and wear, made in Europe.

I love New York and I can not imagine that I would live somewhere else. Perhaps it is surprising that I became a New Yorker, because I never even thought about it.

I was not familiar with Charlie Chaplin. But when I lived in Switzerland, he was my neighbor - rather, his body. He was buried in the courtyard of the Church of England, down the street from my house. And then some asshole stole his coffin (in 1978, Chaplin's coffin was dug up and stolen. - Esquire) and demanded money from his family. It was awful, especially since I knew his family - they were good people.
