More quotes by David Byrne
I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.
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
I try to write about small things. Paper, animals, a house... love is kind of big. I have written a love song, though. In this film, I sing it to a lamp.
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne

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

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
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
I'm really curious how the private listening - iPods, people listening on their phones - how that might eventual effect music. There'll be a whole genre of music that really works on a kind of one to one headphone or earbud level but doesn't really work when you play it in a room.
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
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
