Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne

Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
Image
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.

I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities, but I forgot what it was. I have it written down at home somewhere.

People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.
David Byrne

Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David Byrne
Image
There are a lot of people that don't scour websites regularly or read music reviews. They need whatever, the other kinds of stuff, whether it's an appearance on Lettterman or posters or ads. They need to kind of be hit more in the face and be told that there's something new out there.
David Byrne
Image
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
David Byrne
Image
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.

Body odor is the window to the soul.

When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
