That's the one for my tombstone... Here lies David Byrne. Why the big suit?

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.

We don't make music, it makes us

I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.

When everything is visible and appears to be dumb, that's when the details take on larger meanings.

I don't think people are going to switch over to bikes because it's good for them or because it's politically correct. They're going to do it because it gets them from A to B faster.

My personal feeling is that human beings have this incredible capacity for denial.
