More quotes by David Byrne
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
I've rarely kept my distance from kind of - I don't know if we can call it politics, but kind of, civic engagement and that kind of thing, except I tended to think, 'Well, do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.'
David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.

David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
A lot of cities are making a real effort, neighborhood by neighborhood, to make themselves into a place where life can be pretty good.
David Byrne
I'd been keeping tour diaries, and especially when I go somewhere where I felt the experience might be interesting, like Eastern Europe or South America or whatever, where the whole perception of what I was doing there and stuff that I was seeing and music I was hearing, I could put all that into a diary.
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
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'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
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
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
David Byrne
I can't tell one from the other:I find you or you find me?There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be.
