More quotes by David Byrne
One knew in advance that life in New York would not be easy‚ but there were cheap rents in cold-water lofts without heat‚ and the excitement of being here made up for those hardships. I didn't move to New York to make a fortune.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.

There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.

The most common music that you hear anywhere in the world now basically has its roots in that union that happened in the last century, or in the century before that. That kind of music that's groove or beat oriented just didn't exist in lots of cultures before that.

David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.

David Byrne
People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.
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
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
David Byrne
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
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'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.
David Byrne
When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.
David Byrne
People are renovating places and opening ambitious new venues. That's one thing that music does. It gets people out of their houses, and gets them hanging out together.
David Byrne
I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.
