We live in ugly times.
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

Sometimes the European and North American public like some things to be exotic and kept at arm's length. They don't want sometimes to know that foreign artists are doing something that's at least as relevant as what's being done here.
David Byrne
Image
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?

I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
Image
I'm really curious how the private listening - iPods, people listening on their phones - how that might eventual effect music. There'll be a whole genre of music that really works on a kind of one to one headphone or earbud level but doesn't really work when you play it in a room.

It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne

Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
Image
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.

I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else

Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne

I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne

Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.

Physical contact is a human necessity.
