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
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
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

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
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
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
Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
David Byrne
People use irony as a defense mechanism.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
David Byrne
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
