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 wave to the double-decker buses from my bike, but the passengers never wave back. Why? Am I not an attraction?
David Byrne
Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
