Marc Bolan quotes:

Be strong and follow your own convictions. You can't assume there is a lot of time to do what you like. This is what David Bowie is afraid of: that he will die before he gets a chance to make a real strong contribution.

I am the 'Cosmic Dancer' who dances his way out of the womb and into the tomb on 'Electric Warrior.' I'm not frightened to get up there and groove about in front of six million people on TV because it doesn't look cool. That's the way I would do it at home.

I'm serious about the music, but I'm not serious about the fantasy. It's no big deal being on TV!

I live my life with a sense of urgency that most people cant comprehend.

I don't like telephones.

If God were to appear in my room, obviously I would be in awe, but I don't think I would be humble. I might cry, but I think he would dig me like crazy.

There is so little time for us all; I need to be able to say what I want quickly and to as many people as possible.

The prospect of being immortal doesn't excite me, but the prospect of being a materialistic idol for four years does appeal.

I feel there is a curse on rock stars.

I tend to play a lot of blues things at home, because most blues things are basically within a 12-bar pattern.

Book after book, I get hooked, every time the writer talks to me like a friend.

I want fun now, life is here to enjoy, not to complicate and make difficult.

Its like if you take acid, it burns out brain cells and they dont regrow. Rock is like that-it has killed beautiful people musically, physically and mentally.

Our lives are merely trees of possibilities.

Some people think because I wear makeup that I am gay. But one thing has nothing to do with the other.

Sometimes I get a funny feeling inside me that I shan't be here very long, and I'm not talking in terms of things like success. It frightens me sometimes

Time passes so slowly if you are unaware of it and so quickly if you are aware of it.

We have a very good head thing but we don't make love.
