“Talking Heads, for me and Chris, was a very personal thing that we shared with a lot of people. In a way, I'm glad it's over, because it allows us to move beyond the restrictions that followed.”

“I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.”

“We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.”

“Art is not predictable. Art is not golf, as great as that may be. There are 360 degrees of choice to make.”

“If you have this passion for music, you don't stop doing it - it chooses you and doesn't release you.”

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

“I think the idea of having the show divided into two parts was that Tom Tom Club opened for Talking Heads in Europe, and it was the best we'd ever had as an opening act.”

“We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.”

“Sometimes you don't want to be a slapstick clown in order to convey a funny perception of the world.”

“Many Japanese painters and calligraphers would change their names intentionally to keep their relationship to the art always fresh. This way, others' expectations can be avoided.”
