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
It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
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
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
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
