Famous quotes by David Byrne:

"The consumers' trust has been eroded and the EU must restore public confidence in its food science and controls,"

"very foolish to underestimate the potential for the disease to spread."

"There may be some amendments here or there, but as long as the proposal that has been announced remains substantially intact, I will be happy."

"I expect that we will achieve consensus on Monday,"

"This is a major breakthrough that will provide consumers with much needed protection and rights,"

"It is the price which must be paid to restore public confidence in our commitment to protect public health."

"Consumers now clearly want copper-fastened guarantees that these controls are being implemented,"

"Personally, being somewhat envious of Richard's songwriting and guitar playing, it's somewhat satisfying he's not yet achieved household-name status. It serves him right for being so good."

"As I define it, rock and roll is dead. The attitude isn't dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn't have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive -- and it still informs other kinds of music."

"To shake your rump is to be environmentally aware."

"I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works."

"I've rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert."

"I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing."

"I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching."

"Having unlimited choices can paralyze you creatively."

"It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?"

"I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part."

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

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

"Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way."
