On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.

More quotes by David Byrne
People are renovating places and opening ambitious new venues. That's one thing that music does. It gets people out of their houses, and gets them hanging out together.
David Byrne
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
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
It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
I'd been keeping tour diaries, and especially when I go somewhere where I felt the experience might be interesting, like Eastern Europe or South America or whatever, where the whole perception of what I was doing there and stuff that I was seeing and music I was hearing, I could put all that into a diary.
David Byrne
Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing.
David Byrne
I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.
David Byrne
It's like 60 Minutes on acid.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.
David Byrne
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
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
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
From what I've heard, Paris did a little bit more prep work as far as making bike lanes and all of that stuff. They really did it properly, which New York is getting to little by little.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
David Byrne
When you fall in love, you feel like a missing piece of a puzzle that's been found.
David Byrne
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
