Friday Night with Jonathan Ross2001

David Bowie:
I tell you what I did do, my concession to Ziggy d... [quivers lip, appalled voice] 'Why did you kill Ziggy?'

Himself - Host:
Well why *did* you kill Ziggy?

David Bowie:
'Why did you kill Zig', [stern voice] 'You don't understand, there was a war on. Your mother and I we tried to protect you from all this, but if you must know, your sister ran away'. 'Why did you kill Ziggy?' 'It was hard for all of us, it was hard for the country, dammit!' Sorry.

Himself - Host:
You know, I did actually have a dream once where you were my father.

David Bowie:
Oh! [laughs] Please please don't share this with me.

Himself - Host:
It's okay because you were stoned but you were fair. Although the makeup took some explaining at school.
