Introduction
On top of a building somewhere in some major city David Bowie stands with his interviewer Alan Yentob, about to take his picture with a polaroid camera.
Bowie:I hope you don't mind me doing this. There are some balloons behind you. Perfect celebratory items. (Takes the picture)
Yentob: So, what's this for?
Bowie: Well, a magazine with an obviously substantial budget has bought and given me a camera and a few packs of film, and I've got to record between 50 and 70 working days visually. So that's a polaroid or two a day. Thank-you very much.
Yentob: My pleasure. Happy Birthday.
Bowie: Thank-you.
Yentob: How does it feel to be 50 years old? Half a century, and still a pop star?
Bowie: I suppose the thing that comes to mind is that I'm very lucky to still be doing the one thing that gave me a reason for living when I was very young. That I'm still actively enjoying the process of writing, and performing, and the very same things that I was doing when I was 16 years old.
