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
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
