More quotes by David Byrne
I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium.

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

David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne

David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
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
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
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
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
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.
