More quotes by David Byrne
I'm just wearing regular street clothes. Pretty much all the time. In the summertime, or when it gets warm out, shorts and sandals or something like that. Stuff that I don't mind getting a little sweaty.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself. Ideally, I try to balance that - that I'm asking these questions of myself, how does this work, why does this happen, what's going on here.
David Byrne
To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.
David Byrne
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne

David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
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
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 knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
David Byrne
Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job
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.
