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.

More quotes by David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
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
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
David Byrne
I wave to the double-decker buses from my bike, but the passengers never wave back. Why? Am I not an attraction?
David Byrne
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.
David Byrne
Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David Byrne
I can't tell one from the other:I find you or you find me?There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be.
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
