More quotes by David Byrne
Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
Do I wear a helmet? Ugh. I do when I'm riding through a precarious part of town, meaning Midtown traffic. But when I'm riding on secure protected lanes or on the paths that run along the Hudson or through Central Park - no, I don't wear the dreaded helmet then.
David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
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
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
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
David Byrne
Probably the reason it's a little hard to break away from the album format completely is, if you're getting a band together in the studio, it makes financial sense to do more than one song at a time. And it makes more sense, if you're going to all the effort of performing and doing whatever else, if there's a kind of bundle.
