David Bowie

Bowie on life and work

I think it’s an heroic act to be able to obtain enthusiasm and joy from the actual process of living from day to day.

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re 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.

It's very, very easy to become work-obsessed for the reason of not having to look at oneself.
