More quotes by David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It's really only to be heard when everyone's out enjoying it.
David Byrne
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.

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
There's more good music being made now than ever before.

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
I wave to the double-decker buses from my bike, but the passengers never wave back. Why? Am I not an attraction?
David Byrne

David Byrne
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco, this ain't no fooling around.
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
