More quotes by David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
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
The more you know, the more you know you don't know and the more you know that you don't know.
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
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
David Byrne
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.
David Byrne
There's a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it's their true feeling.
David Byrne
There's something about music that encourages people to want to know more about the person that made it, and where it was recorded, what year it was done, what they were listening to, and all this kind of stuff. There's something that invites all this obsessive behavior.
David Byrne
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
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.
