More quotes by David Byrne
I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.
David Byrne
You may say to yourself: Well, how did I get here?
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
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne

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.

David Byrne

David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
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
I really enjoy forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people walk. Doorknobs. Everything. Then I get used to the place and I don't notice those things anymore. So only by forgetting can I see the place again as it really is.
David Byrne
A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
David Byrne
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
The assumption is that your personal life has to be a mess to create, but how much chaos can you allow in before it takes over?
David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
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
