More quotes by David Byrne
People in Latin America... love America from afar and emulate America in some ways but also hate a lot of things that America does to them.
David Byrne
A little touch of chaos and danger makes a city sexy.
David Byrne
Interviewer: If I gave you fifty dollars, right now, what would you do with it?David Byrne: I would get something to eat.
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
Real sadness is such an all-encompassing intense thing that it takes you out of your humdrum existence. If you can still function, you want to show it while it's peaking. So when people tell you to cheer up, it's not always the best thing.
David Byrne
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
David Byrne
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
David Byrne
Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing.
David Byrne
I couldn't take pictures of green rolling hills.
David Byrne
I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne

David Byrne
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
David Byrne
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
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
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware.
