There's still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don't. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn't communicate anything.

More quotes by David Byrne
Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.
David Byrne
A lot of people, musically anyway, have realized that they can do it, and there's an audience for it at least in their own country, and often thought a lot of countries have a diaspora that breaks out all over the place, so they have a pretty wide audience.
David Byrne
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
David Byrne
Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way.
David Byrne
Crime is a job. Sex is a job. Growing up is a job. School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job
David Byrne
As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive - and it still informs other kinds of music.
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
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
What's been missing from digital music sales has been the possibility of added depth. In a printed package one can only include so many images and so much text - for example - but digitally it's wide open.
David Byrne
I'm afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same
David Byrne
Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively.
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
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
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
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
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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne
I can't tell one from the other:I find you or you find me?There was a time before we were born If someone asks, this is where I'll be.
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.
