“Truth? I was broke. I got into rock because it was enjoyable way of making my money and taking four or five years to puzzle my next move out. I was a painter before that, studying commercial art at Bromley Technical High School. I tried advertising and that was just awful. The lowest. But I was well into my little saxophone, so I left advertising and thought, Let’s give rock a try.”
A Playboy interview with David Bowie from 1976 (described in the magazine as “an outrageous conversation with the actor, rock singer and sexual switch-hitter”).
