More quotes by 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
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
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
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
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne
A lot of cities are making a real effort, neighborhood by neighborhood, to make themselves into a place where life can be pretty good.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
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 knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
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.
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
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
David Byrne
