I would really love to work with Paul McCartney. Isn't that arrogant?

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

It's just such a pleasure to bring a talent you respect to the world.

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.

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.
