4
00:01:14.744 --> 00:01:17.547
<i>One of the most</i>
<i>complex expressions.</i>

5

<i>Memory made manifest.</i>

6
00:01:21.388 --> 00:01:23.784
<i>It's something that</i>
<i>straddles past and future</i>

7
00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:26.820
<i>without ever quite</i>
<i>being present.</i>

8
00:01:26.855 --> 00:01:31.594
<i>Or rather, it at first seems</i>
<i>indifferent to the present.</i>

9
00:01:31.629 --> 00:01:35.235
<i>There's a tension of a most</i>
<i>unfathomable nature.</i>

10
00:01:36.568 --> 00:01:38.469
<i>The word desires</i>
<i>to be understood.</i>

11
00:01:38.504 --> 00:01:40.372
<i>To have meaning.</i>

12
00:01:40.407 --> 00:01:43.309
<i>But you somehow feel</i>
<i>that it's not you yourself</i>

13
00:01:43.344 --> 00:01:45.740
<i>that the word is addressing.</i>

14
00:01:46.875 --> 00:01:48.644
<i>It washes over you,</i>

15
00:01:50.219 --> 00:01:53.715
<i>holding a dialogue</i>
<i>with something arcane</i>

16
00:01:53.750 --> 00:01:56.190
<i>that's maybe not mortal.</i>

17
00:01:56.225 --> 00:01:58.390

18

19

<i>of a deeper existence.</i>

20
00:02:04.563 --> 00:02:07.861
<i>Maybe a temporary reassurance</i>
<i>that indeed</i>

21
00:02:07.896 --> 00:02:10.237
<i>there is no beginning,</i>

22
00:02:11.768 --> 00:02:13.603

<i>the outward appearance</i>

23

<i>of meaning is transcended.</i>

24

<i>struggling to comprehend</i>

25
00:02:18.775 --> 00:02:21.776

INTERVIEWER: You, uh,
have to get the gear on

190
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
who suddenly thought,

192
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> You will have</i>

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>

209

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>

213

say '72, '73 has become
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>

<i>my father, everybody's</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>

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

826
00:53:46.629 --> 00:53:48.057
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
00:54:27.868 --> 00:54:30.308
<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>

866

00:56:03.865 --> 00:56:05.997
DAVID:
<i>Until I'm performing or writing</i>

868
00:56:06.032 --> 00:56:08.802

<i>of an empty vessel.</i>

<i>with my musical career</i>

896
00:59:47.286 --> 00:59:49.693

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>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
<i>"and new methods of writing.</i>

921
01:01:11.040 --> 01:01:12.974
<i>Please help me,</i>
<i>otherwise I'm packing it in."</i>

922
01:01:14.439 --> 01:01:16.340
<i>We started working</i>

923
01:01:16.375 --> 01:01:19.343
<i>of processes and methods of</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
<i>from spontaneous singing,</i>

930
01:01:51.817 --> 01:01:52.981

932

a lot of that isolation
