More quotes by David Byrne
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.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
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
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
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
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
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
I think that if they want people to listen to ten or twelve songs, they have to give the listener a reason to listen to ten or twelve songs or to buy ten or twelve and listen to the whole thing instead of just pulling one or two for their iPod or their computer.
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
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
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
The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
David Byrne
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
