More quotes by David Byrne
One knew in advance that life in New York would not be easy‚ but there were cheap rents in cold-water lofts without heat‚ and the excitement of being here made up for those hardships. I didn't move to New York to make a fortune.
David Byrne
I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
David Byrne
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
David Byrne
I'd been keeping tour diaries, and especially when I go somewhere where I felt the experience might be interesting, like Eastern Europe or South America or whatever, where the whole perception of what I was doing there and stuff that I was seeing and music I was hearing, I could put all that into a diary.
David Byrne
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.
David Byrne
I still feel like if I can get a song to work with, say, a basic beat, a rhythm, some chord changes, and a melody, a vocal melody - if it works with that, then I feel it's written and there's something there.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
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 most common music that you hear anywhere in the world now basically has its roots in that union that happened in the last century, or in the century before that. That kind of music that's groove or beat oriented just didn't exist in lots of cultures before that.
David Byrne
From what I've heard, Paris did a little bit more prep work as far as making bike lanes and all of that stuff. They really did it properly, which New York is getting to little by little.
David Byrne
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
David Byrne
Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.
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
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.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
