More quotes by David Byrne
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
There's a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it's their true feeling.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne

David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
I'm just wearing regular street clothes. Pretty much all the time. In the summertime, or when it gets warm out, shorts and sandals or something like that. Stuff that I don't mind getting a little sweaty.

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

David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
David Byrne
Is giving in to the photographer's presumably natural impulse to compose and light well sometimes okay and not okay other times?
