More quotes by David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.
David Byrne
One knew in advance that life in New York would not be easy‚ but there were cheap rents in cold-water lofts without heat‚ and the excitement of being here made up for those hardships. I didn't move to New York to make a fortune.
David Byrne
I'm really curious how the private listening - iPods, people listening on their phones - how that might eventual effect music. There'll be a whole genre of music that really works on a kind of one to one headphone or earbud level but doesn't really work when you play it in a room.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
I try to write about small things. Paper, animals, a house... love is kind of big. I have written a love song, though. In this film, I sing it to a lamp.
David Byrne
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
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
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
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
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 plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
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
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
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
