David Bowie: Never Play To The Gallery

Video Number Two

David Bowie speaks about artistic integrity and taking risks.

“It’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other peoples’ expectations. They produce their worst work when they do that.”

“If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
