I still never get recognized. Small, bald white guys like myself - we all kind of look the same.
Without David Bowie, popular music as we know it pretty much wouldn't exist.
I don't think of myself as a singer; I usually end up singing when I can't find anyone better to sing, or when I'm too lazy to find someone better.
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
I'd much rather go to a Banksy art show than a Moby art show. My art is painfully naive.
In a perfect world, I would be 6-foot-3 and have a perfect head of hair and look like Orlando Bloom.
In 1991 I did an interview wherein I described myself as a 'teetotal Christian,' which was an exaggeration, although I do like tea and Christ.
I like singing, but it's certainly not my strong point.
I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'
I truly believe, as an institution, most major labels should just die.
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
Sometimes I love the marriage of art and commerce; I love Donna Summer; I like the Rolling Stones.
I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.
I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.
