This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
David Byrne
The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
David Byrne
Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing.
David Byrne
Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.
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
When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.
David Byrne

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
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
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
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
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
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
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
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
