More quotes by David Byrne

David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne

David Byrne

David Byrne

David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.

David Byrne

David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
David Byrne
Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing.
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
David Byrne
I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself. Ideally, I try to balance that - that I'm asking these questions of myself, how does this work, why does this happen, what's going on here.
David Byrne
My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.
