David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.

Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle.
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
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
Is giving in to the photographer's presumably natural impulse to compose and light well sometimes okay and not okay other times?
David Byrne
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
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
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
