When Talking Heads started, we called ourselves Thinking Man's Dance Music.

Being able to allow people to be who they are without trying to change them is important.

We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.

Sometimes you don't want to be a slapstick clown in order to convey a funny perception of the world.

Make it, not make it? What's the difference? Music is a language, it's a dance of life, and it can be a part of your life without being something that earns.

We had our unhappy moments but they got channelled into the kind of sadness that was necessary for singing a song about going nowhere. So it worked out very well I think.

I'm not going to hold my breath because life goes on. Life is too short to sit around moaning about what could have been or what was.
