I'm just wearing regular street clothes. Pretty much all the time. In the summertime, or when it gets warm out, shorts and sandals or something like that. Stuff that I don't mind getting a little sweaty.

More quotes by David Byrne
Singing is a trick to get people to listen to music for longer than they would ordinarily.
David Byrne
I love getting out of my comfort zone.
David Byrne
Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
David Byrne
It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?
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 try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I'm someone else
David Byrne
People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne
When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.
David Byrne
The voting booth joint is a great leveler the whole neighborhood - rich, poor, old, young, decrepit and spunky - they all turn out in one day.
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
We are like the birds. We adapt. We sing.
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
I don't believe that crime, danger and poverty make for good art. That's bullshit.
David Byrne
I don't think I have grand visions that I will never achieve.
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.
David Byrne
I think sometimes I get carried away, like I'm speaking to an imaginary audience rather than just trying to figure something out for myself. Ideally, I try to balance that - that I'm asking these questions of myself, how does this work, why does this happen, what's going on here.
David Byrne
Always be skeptical about simplicity.
David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
David Byrne
I'm afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same
David Byrne
There's something about music that encourages people to want to know more about the person that made it, and where it was recorded, what year it was done, what they were listening to, and all this kind of stuff. There's something that invites all this obsessive behavior.
David Byrne
