David Bowie, Himself:
I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations. If you feel safe in the area that you're working in, you're not working in the right area.

Go a little bit out of your depth and when you don't feel your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting.

I think it's terribly dangerous
00:00:02.875 --> 00:00:06.208
for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations
00:00:06.208 --> 00:00:07.583
If you feel safe
00:00:07.583 --> 00:00:09.125
in the area that you're working in
00:00:09.125 --> 00:00:10.917
you're not working in the right area
00:00:10.917 --> 00:00:13.208
Always go a little further into the water
00:00:13.208 --> 00:00:15.541
than you feel you're capable of being in
00:00:15.541 --> 00:00:17.291
Go a little bit out of your depth
00:00:17.291 --> 00:00:19.998
and you don't feel that your feet are
00:00:19.998 --> 00:00:20.666
quite touching the bottom
00:00:20.666 --> 00:00:22.998
you're just about in the right place
00:00:22.998 --> 00:00:23.499
to do something exciting
