David Byrne
My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.
David Byrne
A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
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
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
