In these interviews, collected from throughout his legendary career — including his first at the age of sixteen and his last, decades later — David Bowie talks about his childhood in the tough streets of South London, songwriting, substance abuse, the influence of Andy Warhol, sexuality, his films, fashion, his collaboration with Brian Eno, his friendship with John Lennon, and much more. Witty in his speech and always ready with his refined, sarcastic, British humor, Bowie demonstrates through his interviews why he was always considered ahead of his time — both in artistic creation and social commentary.
