More quotes by David Byrne
A lot of cities are making a real effort, neighborhood by neighborhood, to make themselves into a place where life can be pretty good.
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
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
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
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.
David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
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
The world isn't logical, it's a song.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
There are a lot of people that don't scour websites regularly or read music reviews. They need whatever, the other kinds of stuff, whether it's an appearance on Lettterman or posters or ads. They need to kind of be hit more in the face and be told that there's something new out there.
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
David Byrne
