“I’ve done nine screenplays over the past year. I spend so much time on the damn road, so I write films. I’ll probably do the one I wrote for myself, Iggy Pop and Joan Stanton. I haven’t got a title yet and I don’t one to go into the story, but it’s very violent and depressing, and it’ll probably bomb miserably. I want to make it in black and white, to boot. I like films made before the ’30s – they seemed to have a lot more genuine expression.”

David Bowie, NME, 23 August 1975
