More quotes by David Byrne
I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part.

David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
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
To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.

It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.

I wave to the double-decker buses from my bike, but the passengers never wave back. Why? Am I not an attraction?
