More quotes by David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
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
Frank Lloyd Wright... his things were beautiful but not very functional.
David Byrne
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
David Byrne
I'm afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same
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
It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.
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
You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.
David Byrne
I don't care how impossible it seems.
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
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
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
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
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
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
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.
