More quotes by 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
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne

David Byrne
From what I've heard, Paris did a little bit more prep work as far as making bike lanes and all of that stuff. They really did it properly, which New York is getting to little by little.
David Byrne

David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.
David Byrne
It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
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
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.
David Byrne
