More quotes by David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
David Byrne
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
David Byrne
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
David Byrne
Is giving in to the photographer's presumably natural impulse to compose and light well sometimes okay and not okay other times?
David Byrne
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
I'm afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same
David Byrne
Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.
David Byrne
The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.
David Byrne
My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.
David Byrne
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
David Byrne
Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle.
David Byrne
There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything.
David Byrne
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
