Sometimes, you have to go through a phase whether you like it or not.

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

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

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

There are no more barbershop quartets wearing boaters, even though I still like them. Life goes on.

I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.

Even the Beatles found it hard to escape their image; they were trapped by it.
