More quotes by 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
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
People are renovating places and opening ambitious new venues. That's one thing that music does. It gets people out of their houses, and gets them hanging out together.
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
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
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I'm riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I'm riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park - no, I don't wear the dreaded helmet then.
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.
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
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
David Byrne
I'm afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.
David Byrne
As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive - and it still informs other kinds of music.
David Byrne
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities, but I forgot what it was. I have it written down at home somewhere.
David Byrne
Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job
David Byrne
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
David Byrne
You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.
