More quotes by David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
David Byrne
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
David Byrne
I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.
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
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle.
David Byrne
There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything.
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
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
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
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.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
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
