More quotes by David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
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
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
David Byrne

David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
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
Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open.
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne
I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
