+    I found I was able to get a lot of tension off my shoulders by almost
+"outing" myself in the press in that way, in very early circumstances.  So
+I wasn't going to get people crawling out the woodwork saying [seedy, muck-
+raking voice]: "I'll tell you something about David Bowie that you don't
+know..."  I wasn't going to have any of that.  I knew that at some point I
+was going to have to say something about my life.  And, again, Ziggy enabled
+me to make things more comfortable for myself.  There was an excitement that
+the age of exploration was really finally here.  Which is what I was going
+through.  It perfectly mirrored my lifestyle at the time.  It was exactly what
+was happening to me.  There was nothing that I wasn't willing to try, to
+explore and see if it was really part of my psyche or my nature.  I was
+terribly exploratory in every way, not just culturally but sexually and...
+God, there was nothing I would leave alone.  Like a--it's a terrible pun,
+but--like a dog with a bone, I suppose!  So I buried it!
+    The quote has taken on far more in retrospect than actually it was at the
+time.  I'm quite proud that I did it.  On the other hand I didn't want to
+carry a banner for any group of people, and I was as worried about that as
+the aftermath.  Being approached by organisations.  I didn't want that.  I
+didn't feel like part of a group.  I didn't like that aspect of it: this is
+going to start overshadowing my writing and everything else that I do.
+But there you go.
