“When I first saw [David Bowie and Mick Ronson] on stage, I wouldn’t watch David so much as I would watch Mick, because it made more sense to me. I could see that he was human. David was kind of strange. He wasn’t really a rocker. I was a rocker and I preferred rockers. So I would gravitate towards Mick. I thought he was fabulous.”
