More quotes by David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
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
We've gone through the urban renewal cycle in the '60s and '70s that really did a lot of damage to the fabric of urban life - neighborhoods bulldozed and highways pushed through, and all that kind of stuff that really destroyed the kind of social underpinning and the kind of mom and pop stores and all the stuff that makes a community viable.
David Byrne
Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
David Byrne
There's a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it's their true feeling.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
People use irony as a defense mechanism.
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
David Byrne
Interviewer: If I gave you fifty dollars, right now, what would you do with it?David Byrne: I would get something to eat.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
I think that if they want people to listen to ten or twelve songs, they have to give the listener a reason to listen to ten or twelve songs or to buy ten or twelve and listen to the whole thing instead of just pulling one or two for their iPod or their computer.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
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
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
