More quotes by David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
David Byrne
To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.
David Byrne
We've gone through the urban renewal cycle in the '60s and '70s that really did a lot of damage to the fabric of urban life - neighborhoods bulldozed and highways pushed through, and all that kind of stuff that really destroyed the kind of social underpinning and the kind of mom and pop stores and all the stuff that makes a community viable.
David Byrne
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.
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
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
People use irony as a defense mechanism.
David Byrne
There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything.
David Byrne
Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.
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
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.
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
A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
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
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
