“All Montreal bands have around nine members, I believe.” — David Bowie

I knew that I was 'interesting' at 18 because I was aware that I could get away with doing things on stage.

When I was 18, I thought that, to be a romantic, you couldn't live past 30.

I wanted to imbue Ziggy with real flesh and blood and muscle, and it was imperative that I find Ziggy and be him.

I guess it's flattering that everyone believed I was those characters, but it also is dehumanizing.
