More quotes by 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 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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
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
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
David Byrne
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
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
A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.
David Byrne
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
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.
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
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
I'm really curious how the private listening - iPods, people listening on their phones - how that might eventual effect music. There'll be a whole genre of music that really works on a kind of one to one headphone or earbud level but doesn't really work when you play it in a room.
David Byrne
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
