A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
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
There are a lot of people that don't scour websites regularly or read music reviews. They need whatever, the other kinds of stuff, whether it's an appearance on Lettterman or posters or ads. They need to kind of be hit more in the face and be told that there's something new out there.
David Byrne
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
People use irony as a defense mechanism.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
I think that if they want people to listen to ten or twelve songs, they have to give the listener a reason to listen to ten or twelve songs or to buy ten or twelve and listen to the whole thing instead of just pulling one or two for their iPod or their computer.
David Byrne
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
David Byrne
I've rarely kept my distance from kind of - I don't know if we can call it politics, but kind of, civic engagement and that kind of thing, except I tended to think, 'Well, do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.'
David Byrne
It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
