7

8

<i>indifferent to the present.</i>

9
00:01:31,629 --> 00:01:35,235

have to get the gear on

00:14:06,317 --> 00:14:07,954
in order to project yourself.

191
00:14:07,989 --> 00:14:09,681
I mean, were you a nobody

00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:12,552
"Jesus, I must get into
the scene by some other way"?

193
00:14:12,587 --> 00:14:14,191
DAVID: I never asked
Jesus for a think, no.

194
00:14:14,226 --> 00:14:15,456
It was always
on my own initiative.

195
00:14:15,491 --> 00:14:16,655
And...

196
00:14:16,690 --> 00:14:19,966
When I was 14, I became a Mod,

197
00:14:20,001 --> 00:14:21,429
<i>and it just carried</i>
<i>on from there.</i>

198
00:14:21,464 --> 00:14:23,332
I've always dressed
in what I considered clothes

199
00:14:23,367 --> 00:14:25,664
that are exciting for me,

200
00:14:25,699 --> 00:14:28,568
<i>um, to prevent me</i>
<i>becoming humdrum</i>

201
00:14:28,603 --> 00:14:30,471
<i>so that I would receive</i>
<i>reaction from people</i>

202
00:14:30,506 --> 00:14:32,044
<i>which would</i>
<i>encourage me to write.</i>

203

INTERVIEWER:<i> I mean,</i>
<i>you haven't been shy about</i>

206
00:14:39,581 --> 00:14:42,021
declaring a certain
air of bisexuality.

207
00:14:42,056 --> 00:14:43,550
DAVID: Not at all.
I know quite a few men.

WOMAN:<i> Some people</i>

00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:54,363

211
00:14:54,398 --> 00:14:55,529
DAVID:<i> Who's flaunting it?</i>

212
00:15:00,701 --> 00:15:03,009
INTERVIEWER:<i> Why do</i>
<i>you think that bisexuality in,</i>

a common-- not a common,

214
00:15:06,146 --> 00:15:08,047
but an accepted kind of deal.

00:15:08,082 --> 00:15:09,312
<i>Why do you think we</i>

Um, where's the camera?

00:15:25,561 --> 00:15:28,397
You're probably fine there,
and that's where it ended.

223
00:15:28,432 --> 00:15:31,070
But now, people
want a role in society.

224
00:15:31,105 --> 00:15:32,500
They want to feel that
they have a position.

225
00:15:32,535 --> 00:15:34,337
They want to be an individual,

226
00:15:34,372 --> 00:15:36,108
and I think there's
a lot of searching to find

227
00:15:36,143 --> 00:15:38,011
the individual within oneself.

228
00:15:38,046 --> 00:15:39,441
INTERVIEWER: Right,
and how about the shoes?

229
00:15:39,476 --> 00:15:40,673
Are those men's shoes,
or women's shoes,

230
00:15:40,708 --> 00:15:42,081
or bisexual shoes?

231
00:15:42,116 --> 00:15:43,115
DAVID: They're
shoe shoes, silly.

232
00:15:51,587 --> 00:15:54,126
DAVID:<i> There was a feeling</i>

00:44:21,999 --> 00:44:24,032
<i>because there was</i>
<i>mental illness in your family,</i>

662
00:44:24,067 --> 00:44:26,903
<i>that you have a fear of</i>
<i>mental illness. Is that true?</i>

663
00:44:26,938 --> 00:44:30,071
DAVID:<i> Um, no, I developed</i>
<i>a system against it.</i>

664
00:44:30,106 --> 00:44:33,338
<i>I think that probably became</i>
<i>part of the therapy of art,</i>

665
00:44:33,373 --> 00:44:35,978
<i>and I was fortunate</i>
<i>enough to be able to</i>

666
00:44:36,013 --> 00:44:38,442
<i>express any visions</i>
<i>that I had in my head.</i>

667
00:44:38,477 --> 00:44:40,081
-INTERVIEWER: Yeah.
-DAVID: Very outwardly.

668
00:44:40,116 --> 00:44:42,787
DAVID: Gradually
learning to do without sleep.

669
00:44:45,517 --> 00:44:48,320
DAVID:<i> It's a labyrinthine</i>
<i>existence that we live,</i>

670
00:44:48,355 --> 00:44:51,257
<i>and so it makes sense</i>
<i>for me to put together</i>

671
00:44:51,292 --> 00:44:52,929
<i>elements in a song which</i>

672
00:44:52,964 --> 00:44:54,964
<i>wouldn't naturally</i>
<i>be good bedfellows.</i>

673
00:44:59,531 --> 00:45:02,136
<i>I guess I'm trying</i>
<i>to articulate...</i>

674
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,338
<i>those mysterious</i>
<i>corners of the mind</i>

675
00:45:06,373 --> 00:45:08,307
<i>where there exist</i>
<i>grains of truth</i>

676
00:45:08,342 --> 00:45:10,243
<i>that we don't often touch on,</i>

677
00:45:10,278 --> 00:45:12,850
<i>because we don't have</i>
<i>the words to capture them.</i>

678
00:45:15,052 --> 00:45:17,888
<i>So, we'll write on three or</i>
<i>four different subject matters,</i>

679
00:45:17,923 --> 00:45:21,859
<i>and then integrate them</i>
<i>together by cutting them up.</i>

680
00:45:21,894 --> 00:45:25,093
What I've used it for
more than anything else

681
00:45:25,128 --> 00:45:29,966
is igniting anything that
might be in my imagination.

682
00:45:30,001 --> 00:45:31,561
I've tried doing it
with diaries and things,

683
00:45:31,596 --> 00:45:34,234
and I was finding out
amazing things about me

684
00:45:34,269 --> 00:45:36,368
and what I'd done
and where I was going.

685
00:45:37,976 --> 00:45:39,844
A lot of the things I had done,

686
00:45:39,879 --> 00:45:42,275
it seemed that it would
predict things about the future

687
00:45:42,310 --> 00:45:45,278
<i>and tell me a lot</i>
<i>about the past.</i>

688
00:45:45,313 --> 00:45:49,546
<i>I suppose it's a very</i>
<i>Western tarot. I don't know.</i>

689
00:45:49,581 --> 00:45:51,548
<i>Obviously, one</i>
<i>is trying to always</i>

690
00:45:51,583 --> 00:45:53,583
<i>reevaluate one's personality,</i>

691
00:45:53,618 --> 00:45:56,388
<i>and understand why one works.</i>

692
00:45:58,359 --> 00:46:01,360
<i>I think a lot of artists deal</i>
<i>with loneliness and solitude.</i>

693
00:46:03,463 --> 00:46:07,597
<i>An artist does tend</i>
<i>to examine the world</i>

694
00:46:07,632 --> 00:46:09,500
<i>through his relationship to it,</i>

695
00:46:09,535 --> 00:46:11,403
<i>and so that produces</i>

696
00:46:11,438 --> 00:46:13,471
<i>a very introverted looking</i>
<i>lot of work.</i>

697
00:46:13,506 --> 00:46:16,474
<i>I don't feel lonely.</i>
<i>I apply that to my work.</i>

698
00:46:16,509 --> 00:46:21,281
<i>I sense a feeling of loneliness</i>
<i>from my work when I look at it,</i>

699
00:46:21,316 --> 00:46:24,515
<i>but I don't feel like</i>
<i>a solitary person myself,</i>

700
00:46:24,550 --> 00:46:26,385
<i>but it seems</i>
<i>to show up in my work,</i>

701
00:46:26,420 --> 00:46:28,618
<i>and it's like taking</i>
<i>a photograph</i>

702
00:46:28,653 --> 00:46:30,587
<i>and then developing</i>
<i>the negative</i>

703
00:46:30,622 --> 00:46:33,194
<i>and seeing another</i>
<i>person standing behind you.</i>

INTERVIEWER:
<i>With your background,</i>

715
00:47:19,671 --> 00:47:23,409
<i>why were you</i>
<i>intrigued by all this?</i>

716
00:47:23,444 --> 00:47:27,380
DAVID: Um, it was... I mean,

717
00:47:27,415 --> 00:47:29,580
it filled a vast expanse
of my imagination.

718
00:47:29,615 --> 00:47:31,219
I was always
pretty imaginative.

719
00:47:33,388 --> 00:47:36,224
And the imagination
can dry up in

720
00:47:36,259 --> 00:47:38,424
wherever you're
living in England, often.

721
00:47:38,459 --> 00:47:40,657
I mean, if there's
nothing to keep it going.

722
00:47:40,692 --> 00:47:42,659
It just supplied a need in me.

723
00:47:44,234 --> 00:47:46,597
American became
a myth-land for me.

724
00:47:52,737 --> 00:47:55,573
DAVID: We're not stopped.
Is there anything behind us?

725
00:48:01,053 --> 00:48:02,514
INTERVIEWER:<i> Let's</i>
<i>go with him now live,</i>

726
00:48:02,549 --> 00:48:04,219
<i>by satellite,</i>

727
00:48:04,254 --> 00:48:06,958
<i>to beautiful downtown Burbank</i>
<i>in Los Angeles.</i>

728
00:48:09,028 --> 00:48:10,093
AUDIENCE MEMBER:
Is it true that you're gonna be

729
00:48:10,128 --> 00:48:11,292
teaming up with...

730
00:48:12,427 --> 00:48:14,328
Every avenue.

731
00:48:14,363 --> 00:48:17,166
It's very calm, and it's a kind
of a superficial calmness

732
00:48:17,201 --> 00:48:19,267
that they've developed to
underplay the fact that it's--

733
00:48:19,302 --> 00:48:22,204
there's a lot of high
pressure here,

734
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,140
as it's a very big
entertainment industry area.

735
00:48:25,737 --> 00:48:28,507
<i>And you get this feeling</i>
<i>of unease with everybody.</i>

736
00:48:28,542 --> 00:48:30,047
It's a very big
entertainment area.

737
00:48:30,082 --> 00:48:31,444
DAVID:<i> The first time</i>
<i>that it really</i>

738
00:48:31,479 --> 00:48:34,084
<i>came home to me</i>
<i>what a strange...</i>

739
00:48:36,055 --> 00:48:39,749
<i>About the churches</i>
<i>designed by an architect...</i>

740
00:48:39,784 --> 00:48:41,619
DAVID: Arthur, would
you please slow down?

741
00:48:43,359 --> 00:48:45,029
INTERVIEWER:<i> We're</i>
<i>bouncing backwards and forwards</i>

742
00:48:45,064 --> 00:48:46,393
on the satellite at the moment.

743
00:48:46,428 --> 00:48:49,363
I mean, our sound
is bouncing around.

744
00:48:49,398 --> 00:48:50,562
Yes, I can see it.

745
00:48:52,566 --> 00:48:54,236
It'll be all right in a minute.

746
00:49:00,178 --> 00:49:01,177
INTERVIEWER:
<i>Are you there, David?</i>

747
00:49:02,510 --> 00:49:03,674
<i>Are you there, David?</i>

748
00:49:03,709 --> 00:49:05,610
Bedroom in the sky.

749
00:49:05,645 --> 00:49:07,381
INTERVIEWER:
<i>Are you there, Mr. David Bowie?</i>

750
00:49:16,689 --> 00:49:19,723
DAVID:<i> I think</i>
<i>that I felt often,</i>

751
00:49:19,758 --> 00:49:24,332
<i>ever since I was a teenager,</i>

752
00:49:24,367 --> 00:49:29,535
<i>um, so adrift, and so</i>
<i>not part of everyone I saw.</i>

753
00:49:30,670 --> 00:49:32,406
<i>There's so many dark secrets</i>

754
00:49:32,441 --> 00:49:33,737
<i>about my family</i>
<i>in the cupboard</i>

755
00:49:33,772 --> 00:49:36,575
<i>that it kind of made me feel</i>

756
00:49:36,610 --> 00:49:39,149
<i>very much on the outside</i>
<i>of everything,</i>

757
00:49:39,184 --> 00:49:44,517
<i>and because of that, I felt</i>
<i>there was no basis to my life,</i>

758
00:49:44,552 --> 00:49:46,552
<i>like everybody else</i>
<i>seemed to have.</i>

759
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,457
<i>Which of course</i>
<i>is ridiculous.</i>

760
00:49:50,492 --> 00:49:53,229
<i>Probably, I would</i>
<i>do things to prove that</i>

761
00:49:53,264 --> 00:49:56,166
<i>I had some</i>
<i>emotional substance...</i>

762
00:49:57,433 --> 00:49:59,070
<i>when in fact I didn't.</i>

763
00:50:39,838 --> 00:50:42,806
DAVID:<i> Thematically, I've always</i>
<i>dealt with isolation</i>

764
00:50:42,841 --> 00:50:44,676
<i>in everything I've written,</i>
<i>I think.</i>

765
00:50:44,711 --> 00:50:46,876
INTERVIEWER:<i> If you're</i>
<i>interested in isolation,</i>

766
00:50:46,911 --> 00:50:49,780
<i>is it because you think that</i>
<i>a person in an isolated state</i>

767
00:50:49,815 --> 00:50:53,124
<i>feel greater emotions</i>
<i>than they do</i>

768
00:50:53,159 --> 00:50:55,786
<i>when they're surrounded</i>
<i>by people and things?</i>

769
00:50:55,821 --> 00:50:58,624
DAVID:
<i>I think if he is in isolation,</i>

770
00:50:58,659 --> 00:51:03,332
<i>instead of receiving</i>
<i>the whole world as his home,</i>

771
00:51:03,367 --> 00:51:06,467
<i>he tends to create</i>
<i>a micro-world inside himself.</i>

772
00:51:06,502 --> 00:51:10,306
<i>Um, and it's that peculiar</i>
<i>part of the human mind</i>

773
00:51:10,341 --> 00:51:12,671
<i>that fascinates me</i>
<i>about the small universes</i>

774
00:51:12,706 --> 00:51:15,707
<i>that can be created</i>
<i>inside the mind.</i>

775
00:51:15,742 --> 00:51:18,248
<i>Some of them</i>
<i>fairly schizophrenic</i>

776
00:51:18,283 --> 00:51:19,381
<i>and quite off the wall.</i>

777
00:51:22,683 --> 00:51:25,552
<i>It feels now that</i>
<i>I don't come from anywhere,</i>

778
00:51:25,587 --> 00:51:28,753
<i>but I was born in Brixton.</i>

779
00:51:28,788 --> 00:51:30,326
INTERVIEWER :
<i>When were you born? What year?</i>

780
00:51:30,361 --> 00:51:33,461
DAVID:<i> 1947.</i>
<i>January the eighth.</i>

781
00:51:33,496 --> 00:51:36,563
<i>Makes me a Capricorn</i>
<i>with an Aquarius ascendant</i>

782
00:51:36,598 --> 00:51:38,598
<i>and a Leo descendant.</i>

783
00:51:41,801 --> 00:51:43,471
INTERVIEWER:<i> How much now</i>
<i>is left of the lad</i>

784
00:51:43,506 --> 00:51:45,176
<i>from Brixton, do you think?</i>

785
00:51:45,211 --> 00:51:46,309
DAVID:<i> Not very much,</i>
<i>I would think.</i>

786
00:51:46,344 --> 00:51:48,278
<i>I know, you know.</i>

787
00:51:48,313 --> 00:51:52,216
<i>I never got-- I never became</i>
<i>who I should have been.</i>

788
00:51:52,251 --> 00:51:54,218
<i>I've spent an awful lot</i>
<i>of my life</i>

789
00:51:54,253 --> 00:51:56,649
<i>actually looking</i>
<i>for myself, you know?</i>

790
00:51:56,684 --> 00:52:00,653
<i>And understanding what it was</i>
<i>that I-why-what I existed for.</i>

791
00:52:00,688 --> 00:52:02,424
<i>What was it that really</i>
<i>made me happy in life?</i>

792
00:52:03,691 --> 00:52:05,757
<i>And who exactly, or was--</i>

793
00:52:05,792 --> 00:52:07,726
<i>Who are the parts of myself</i>
<i>I was trying to hide from?</i>

794
00:52:10,566 --> 00:52:13,666
<i>I think a lot of us</i>
<i>have huge senses of denial</i>

795
00:52:13,701 --> 00:52:15,866
<i>about who we are and</i>
<i>where we exist in the world</i>

796
00:52:18,442 --> 00:52:19,870
<i>I really wanted to</i>
<i>sort of, you know,</i>

797
00:52:19,905 --> 00:52:21,476
<i>be very emotionally involved</i>
<i>with people.</i>

798
00:52:22,611 --> 00:52:24,281
<i>I didn't know how to do it.</i>

799
00:52:24,316 --> 00:52:25,711
<i>You know,</i>
<i>my parents were like that,</i>

800
00:52:25,746 --> 00:52:27,515
<i>and I guess you kind of,</i>
<i>as they say,</i>

801
00:52:28,848 --> 00:52:30,881
<i>they pass on a lot of faults.</i>

802
00:52:34,986 --> 00:52:36,722
DICK:<i> What do</i>
<i>your parents do for a living?</i>

803
00:52:36,757 --> 00:52:41,265
My father's dead,
and my mother has a small flat,

804
00:52:41,300 --> 00:52:44,532
and I think she's got
a day job.

805
00:52:44,567 --> 00:52:46,270
DICK: Does she have trouble
explaining you to the neighbors

806
00:52:46,305 --> 00:52:48,503
who say, "Are you
any relation to that..."

807
00:52:48,538 --> 00:52:50,571
DAVID: I think she pretends
I'm not hers.

808
00:52:52,311 --> 00:52:54,476
Nah, she's uh,
she doesn't talk much.

809
00:52:54,511 --> 00:52:57,644
You know, she doesn't,
um, I don't think we really--

810
00:52:57,679 --> 00:52:59,481
We were never
that close particularly.

811
00:52:59,516 --> 00:53:00,845
We have an understanding.

812
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:01,912
DICK: Yeah.

813
00:53:05,687 --> 00:53:07,720
INTERVIEWER:
<i>Was it a happy marriage?</i>

814
00:53:07,755 --> 00:53:10,426
<i>Not necessarily</i>
<i>terribly loving or anything,</i>

815
00:53:10,461 --> 00:53:12,890
<i>in terms of</i>
<i>no real physical affection,</i>

816
00:53:14,762 --> 00:53:17,400
<i>or even they</i>
<i>didn't really articulate</i>

817
00:53:17,435 --> 00:53:18,566
<i>any love for each other.</i>

818
00:53:25,971 --> 00:53:28,510
<i>There's an awful lot of</i>
<i>emotional/spiritual mutilation</i>

819
00:53:28,545 --> 00:53:30,281
<i>goes on in my family.</i>

820
00:53:35,387 --> 00:53:38,487
INTERVIEWER:<i> Did you like any</i>
<i>of the traditional people</i>

821
00:53:38,522 --> 00:53:40,555
<i>that you're supposed to like?</i>

822
00:53:40,590 --> 00:53:42,051
<i>Like, did you like</i>

<i>No I didn't. I didn't like--</i>

INTERVIEWER:
<i>Did you have a teddy bear?</i>

827
00:53:48,092 --> 00:53:50,301
DAVID:<i> No, I didn't.</i>
<i>I don't think...</i>

828
00:53:53,405 --> 00:53:56,032
<i>I can't remember having</i>
<i>anything like that at all.</i>

829
00:53:56,067 --> 00:53:59,277
<i>No, I never liked, um,</i>
<i>children's things very much.</i>

830
00:54:24,568 --> 00:54:25,996
INTERVIEWER:<i> You know,</i>
<i>since you've been away,</i>

831
00:54:26,031 --> 00:54:27,833
<i>or quite recently,</i>
<i>the newspapers</i>

832

<i>having been having a bit</i>
<i>of a bash at your mother?</i>

833
00:54:33,511 --> 00:54:36,072
And saying that she's
a bit tearful from time to time.

834
00:54:36,107 --> 00:54:39,515
and that she's suffered
a certain amount of anguish,

835
00:54:39,550 --> 00:54:41,649
and that she doesn't hear
from you an awful lot.

836
00:54:41,684 --> 00:54:43,849
<i>Is that eyewash</i>
<i>or is it real?</i>

837
00:54:49,021 --> 00:54:50,658
DAVID:<i> There's some kind</i>
<i>of traumatism</i>

838
00:54:50,693 --> 00:54:53,089
<i>often goes on</i>
<i>in our childhoods I think.</i>

839
00:54:53,124 --> 00:54:55,432
<i>I think, that are...</i>

840
00:54:55,467 --> 00:54:57,368
<i>Makes us crave some kind</i>
<i>of strange affection, you know?</i>

841
00:54:57,403 --> 00:54:58,666
<i>It's sort of an...</i>

842
00:54:58,701 --> 00:55:00,404
<i>Often you'll find</i>
<i>that the person</i>

843
00:55:00,439 --> 00:55:02,406
<i>who craves a lot of affection</i>

844
00:55:02,441 --> 00:55:04,474
<i>actually isn't terribly good</i>
<i>at giving it.</i>

845
00:55:07,875 --> 00:55:10,942
INTERVIEWER: Does that mean
you have to separate yourself

846
00:55:10,977 --> 00:55:14,044
quite a lot from, say,
falling in love

847
00:55:14,079 --> 00:55:16,651
and getting very involved
with a person?

848
00:55:16,686 --> 00:55:20,116
Um, oh no, I think, no.

849
00:55:20,151 --> 00:55:21,656
I think quite the reverse.

850
00:55:21,691 --> 00:55:23,757
INTERVIEWER: But, love,
falling in love,

851
00:55:23,792 --> 00:55:26,892
is different from then going on
to love that person.

852
00:55:26,927 --> 00:55:28,157
Yes, it is. Yes.

853
00:55:28,192 --> 00:55:30,533
And once you've
loved somebody a lot,

854
00:55:30,568 --> 00:55:32,436
it means that you've got
to share your life with them.

855
00:55:32,471 --> 00:55:34,130
-That's what I really--
-DAVID: No, I don't think so.

856
00:55:34,165 --> 00:55:36,770
I think you can love somebody
from afar.

857
00:55:36,805 --> 00:55:39,476
But if you then decided
not to love them from afar,

858
00:55:39,511 --> 00:55:41,907
you as an artist
would have to give up

859
00:55:41,942 --> 00:55:43,777
quite a lot of your time
to them.

860
00:55:43,812 --> 00:55:45,108
Yes, and I can't do that.

861
00:55:45,143 --> 00:55:46,648
INTERVIEWER:
That's what I was wondering,

862
00:55:46,683 --> 00:55:48,144
whether you did--
whether you did that.

863
00:55:48,179 --> 00:55:49,882
DAVID: No, no, no, love can't
get quite in my way,

864
00:55:49,917 --> 00:55:53,952
because I feel-- I shelter
myself from it incredibly.

865
00:55:55,923 --> 00:56:00,959
Interviewer:<i> Do you feel removed</i>
<i>from the body and the feel</i>

<i>Until I'm performing or writing</i>

868
00:56:06,032 --> 00:56:08,802

895
00:59:45,757 --> 00:59:47,251
<i>with my musical career</i>

896
00:59:47,286 --> 00:59:49,693
<i>were challenges to myself.</i>

897
00:59:49,728 --> 00:59:52,663
<i>I have to feel that I'm</i>
<i>stepping on new ground,</i>

898
00:59:52,698 --> 00:59:55,061
<i>that the ice beneath my feet</i>
<i>is very thin.</i>

899
00:59:55,096 --> 00:59:56,667
<i>Any second, I could crack it</i>

900
00:59:56,702 --> 00:59:58,064
<i>and just plunge through</i>
<i>and drown.</i>

901
00:59:59,870 --> 01:00:02,233
<i>I got to a point in Los Angeles</i>

902
01:00:02,268 --> 01:00:04,972
<i>where I got very tired</i>
<i>with my method of writing,</i>

903
01:00:05,007 --> 01:00:08,074
<i>and I wanted to invent</i>
<i>a new musical language.</i>

904
01:00:10,309 --> 01:00:12,276
<i>I knew I had to get</i>
<i>to an environment</i>

905
01:00:12,311 --> 01:00:14,817
<i>that was totally different</i>
<i>to Los Angeles.</i>

906
01:00:14,852 --> 01:00:16,951
<i>So I thought</i>
<i>of the most arduous city</i>

907
01:00:16,986 --> 01:00:19,349
<i>that I could think of,</i>
<i>and it was West Berlin.</i>

908
01:00:19,384 --> 01:00:22,792
<i>They don't give an FA about</i>
<i>who you are in Berlin.</i>

909
01:00:22,827 --> 01:00:25,157
<i>The trappings of rock and roll</i>
<i>don't mean anything to them.</i>

910
01:00:25,192 --> 01:00:26,928
<i>So, I could walk around,</i>
<i>buy me own food,</i>

911
01:00:26,963 --> 01:00:29,161
<i>and just lease</i>
<i>a small apartment,</i>

912
01:00:29,196 --> 01:00:31,702
<i>which I did above</i>
<i>an automobile spare parts shop.</i>

913
01:00:41,912 --> 01:00:45,782
<i>I didn't have</i>
<i>the necessary verbal equipment</i>

914
01:00:45,817 --> 01:00:47,883
<i>to describe what I was seeing,</i>

915
01:00:47,918 --> 01:00:49,280
<i>and that's where</i>
<i>I needed assistance.</i>

916
01:01:00,260 --> 01:01:01,963
<i>So, I contacted Brian Eno,</i>

917
01:01:01,998 --> 01:01:04,394
<i>who is definitely one</i>
<i>of the keenest brains</i>

918
01:01:04,429 --> 01:01:06,330
<i>of modern music, and I said,</i>

919
01:01:06,365 --> 01:01:09,234
<i>"Look, Brian, I need to know</i>
<i>some new processes,</i>

920
01:01:09,269 --> 01:01:11,005

922
01:01:14,439 --> 01:01:16,340
<i>We started working</i>

<i>writing in the studio in Berlin</i>

924
01:01:19,378 --> 01:01:22,049

929
01:01:49,441 --> 01:01:51,782

01:01:51,817 --> 01:01:52,981
