Quote of the Day (David Bowie, on His Greatest Fear)


“Converting kilometers to miles.”—Singer David Bowie, on his greatest fear, quoted in “The Proust Questionnaire: David Bowie,” Vanity Fair, August 1998

Funny, David, but just the opposite is the case with me. Well, all right, it might not be my biggest fear, exactly, but converting back and forth to the metric system is surely a royal pain in the rear end of on most normal days.

I can totally relate. Converting cups and pints to ML also a drag. I'll never get the hang of it!

Ah, David, I thought it would be a bit more. . . exotic? :)
