More quotes by 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.

I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
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
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
David Byrne
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
David Byrne
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
David Byrne
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
