It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
David Byrne

David Byrne
Body odor is the window to the soul.
David Byrne
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.
David Byrne
