More quotes by David Byrne

David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne

David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
David Byrne
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
David Byrne
I still feel like if I can get a song to work with, say, a basic beat, a rhythm, some chord changes, and a melody, a vocal melody - if it works with that, then I feel it's written and there's something there.
David Byrne
I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
