More quotes by David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
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
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
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
David Byrne
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
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
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
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
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
David Byrne
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
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
We've gone through the urban renewal cycle in the '60s and '70s that really did a lot of damage to the fabric of urban life - neighborhoods bulldozed and highways pushed through, and all that kind of stuff that really destroyed the kind of social underpinning and the kind of mom and pop stores and all the stuff that makes a community viable.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
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
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
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
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
