I have been in beautiful landscapes where one is tempted to whip out a camera and take a picture. I have learned to resist that.- David Byrne
I am guarded; I do not talk much.
I am afraid that reason will triumph and that the world will become a place where anyone who doesn't fit that will become unnecessary.
I am afraid that everything will get homogenized and be the same.
I would like to be known for more than being the guy in the big suit.
I wanted to be a secret agent and an astronaut, preferably at the same time.
I try never to wear my own clothes, I pretend I am someone else.
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that is fixed, what do you draw on?
I read the NY Times but I do not trust all of it.
I never listen to the radio unless I rent a car.
I like to combine the dramatic emotional warmth of strings with the grooves and body business of drums and bass.
I knew I wanted to have a doll of myself on the cover. I thought, I wanna see myself as a Ken doll.
I find rebellion packaged by a major corporation a little hard to take seriously.
I didn't have any agenda or plan when I started writing stuff.
I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching.
