More quotes by David Byrne
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
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
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
David Byrne
Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.

David Byrne
Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.
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
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
I can't tell one from the other:I find you or you find me?There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be.
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
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
