More quotes by David Byrne
The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
David Byrne
Sometimes the European and North American public like some things to be exotic and kept at arm's length. They don't want sometimes to know that foreign artists are doing something that's at least as relevant as what's being done here.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne

David Byrne
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
The most common music that you hear anywhere in the world now basically has its roots in that union that happened in the last century, or in the century before that. That kind of music that's groove or beat oriented just didn't exist in lots of cultures before that.
David Byrne
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
David Byrne
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
David Byrne
Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
David Byrne
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.
David Byrne
