More quotes by 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
I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part.
David Byrne
The most common music that you hear anywhere in the world now basically has its roots in that union that happened in the last century, or in the century before that. That kind of music that's groove or beat oriented just didn't exist in lots of cultures before that.
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 Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne

David Byrne

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
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
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
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
