David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne

David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
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
