More quotes by David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities, but I forgot what it was. I have it written down at home somewhere.
David Byrne
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
I'm just an advertisement for a version of myself.
David Byrne
There's a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it's their true feeling.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
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
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
Yeah, anybody can go in with two turntables and a microphone or a home studio sampler and a little cassette deck or whatever and make records in their bedrooms.
David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.
David Byrne
I read the NY Times but I don't trust all of it
David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
David Byrne
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
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.
David Byrne
