EMIN: Did you always want fame? Is it something you’d wish on your children? BOWIE: I certainly fancied my own spoonful of it when I was young. I was more than downcast to find that fame brought nothing more than good seats in a restaurant. There is nothing there to covet. The nature of fame seems to have shifted recently. I understand that it doesn’t even get you a Madonna ticket these days. So I won’t be recommending it to my offspring. Having influence is more rewarding for feeding ego. Satisfaction and excitement with one’s work is the biggest buzz, though.
