David Byrne Emotional Quotations

I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.

Obviously, you go through a lot of emotional turmoil in a divorce.

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet, and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

I'm being probably naïve, but I would like to think that once something moves you and you have an emotional involvement with it, and you see some relevance in it to your own life, then it's a little bit harder, maybe, to look at the people that produced it as being just exotic others that don't have any connection to you or relevance to you.

Creative work is more accurately a machine that digs down and finds stuff, emotional stuff that will someday be raw material that can be used to produce more stuff, stuff like itself - clay to be available for future use.
