More quotes by 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
It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.
David Byrne
Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I'm riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I'm riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park - no, I don't wear the dreaded helmet then.
David Byrne
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
David Byrne
Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
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
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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
David Byrne
Interviewer: If I gave you fifty dollars, right now, what would you do with it?David Byrne: I would get something to eat.
