“One can say a sentence to three people and it’ll take on an entirely different meaning for each of those three people. I think if any of my stuff becomes at all surrealistic it’s because that is the purpose of it. It’s to give people their own definitions. I certainly don’t understand half the stuff I write. I can look back on a song that I have just written and it means something entirely different now because of my new circumstances, new this or that. I get told by so many people, especially Americans – what my songs are about.”-David Bowie
