More quotes by 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
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
David Byrne
It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.
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. For the most part at the moment we get less information for slightly less money - though we could be getting a lot more.
David Byrne
London's tempo is 122.86 beats per minute.
David Byrne
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
David Byrne
Software constraints are only confining if you use them for what they're intended to be used for.
David Byrne
Rich people will travel great distances to look at poor people.
David Byrne
Punk. . .was more a kind of do-it-yourself, anyone-can-do-it attitude. If you only played two notes on the guitar, you could figure out a way to make a song out of that, and that's what it was all about.
David Byrne
We live in ugly times.
David Byrne
As music becomes less of a thing--a cylinder, a cassette, a disc--and more ephemeral, perhaps we will begin to assign an increasing value to live performances again.
David Byrne
I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?
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
Schools are for training people how to listen to other people.
David Byrne
From what I've heard, Paris did a little bit more prep work as far as making bike lanes and all of that stuff. They really did it properly, which New York is getting to little by little.
David Byrne
Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.
David Byrne
When everything is worth money, then money is worth nothing.
David Byrne
I still feel like if I can get a song to work with, say, a basic beat, a rhythm, some chord changes, and a melody, a vocal melody - if it works with that, then I feel it's written and there's something there.
David Byrne
A lot of that worked itself out in the recording.
David Byrne
I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
