More quotes by David Byrne
When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
There's something about music that encourages people to want to know more about the person that made it, and where it was recorded, what year it was done, what they were listening to, and all this kind of stuff. There's something that invites all this obsessive behavior.
David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
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
There's a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it's their true feeling.
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
The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
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
I still feel like if I can get a song to work with, say, a basic beat, a rhythm, some chord changes, and a melody, a vocal melody - if it works with that, then I feel it's written and there's something there.
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.
David Byrne
Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne
A lot of people, musically anyway, have realized that they can do it, and there's an audience for it at least in their own country, and often thought a lot of countries have a diaspora that breaks out all over the place, so they have a pretty wide audience.
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
Sometimes the European and North American public like some things to be exotic and kept at arm's length. They don't want sometimes to know that foreign artists are doing something that's at least as relevant as what's being done here.
