Artists are notoriously snooty and suspicious of anything coming from the business community.
David ByrneI subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
David ByrneI 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. So I intentionally don't get involved with arranging stuff or fussing over the sounds and the edits and the beats too much, at least not in the beginning, because I feel like then you can fool yourself that you've got something there, when you might not.
