More quotes by David Byrne
I think sometimes - not always - I write songs that are accessible.
David Byrne
There are plenty of people who are, I think, completely racist who love hip-hop.
David Byrne
The idea of making music from an imaginary culture was to give ourselves a set of restrictions and parameters within which to work. Otherwise, we might have just gone on all kinds of creative detours, some of which might have been interesting. But better we confine ourselves to something.
David Byrne
I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.
David Byrne
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
David Byrne
We don't make music, it makes us
David Byrne
I've rarely kept my distance from kind of - I don't know if we can call it politics, but kind of, civic engagement and that kind of thing, except I tended to think, 'Well, do it yourself before you start telling other people what they should be doing.'
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
People are renovating places and opening ambitious new venues. That's one thing that music does. It gets people out of their houses, and gets them hanging out together.
David Byrne
Physical contact is a human necessity.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David Byrne
As everything becomes digitized, there's the idea that things that can't be digitized become more valuable.
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
On a bike, being just slightly above pedestrian and car eye level, one gets a perfect view of the goings-on in one's own town.
David Byrne
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities, but I forgot what it was. I have it written down at home somewhere.
David Byrne
Music is relegated to an underground, relatively obscure group of listeners. It's partly because of the nature of the medium. With a piece of visual art, you can look at something ugly, brutal and in your face, but it's kind of - there it is. It doesn't take you over in the same way that putting on the music at a certain volume does.
David Byrne
One knew in advance that life in New York would not be easy‚ but there were cheap rents in cold-water lofts without heat‚ and the excitement of being here made up for those hardships. I didn't move to New York to make a fortune.
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.
