"I really got into that: trying to write musically and develop things the way people used to write in the '50s, but in “Big Boys” Iggy and I just broke away from all of that for the one track. That came nearer to the sound I was looking for than anything. I'd like to try maybe one more set of pieces like that. Whenever anyone asks me what the next album is going to be like, I invariably reply 'protest' because I have as little idea as anybody what comes next.”

David Bowie, NME, 29 September 1984
