You learn just as much from your failures. Sometimes you love your failures even more.

Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.

I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

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

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.

I tend to like people that are generous and give other people the benefit of the doubt.

Generosity is the key to all relationships. To friendships and bands. That's the golden rule.
