More quotes by David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
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
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.
David Byrne
It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.
David Byrne
I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
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 like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
David Byrne
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
David Byrne
Is giving in to the photographer's presumably natural impulse to compose and light well sometimes okay and not okay other times?
David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive - and it still informs other kinds of music.
David Byrne
When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.
David Byrne
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
