When I was little, people like Talking Heads were on the radio. There was something geeky yet groundbreaking about them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I started to work in Hollywood at a fairly low level delivering scripts around town, listening to AM talk radio, I at first listened to it as a novelty.
It feels like Radiohead are famous, but that no one knows who we are. Which is brilliant, really.
When Talking Heads started, we called ourselves Thinking Man's Dance Music.
I never realized that growing up in Brooklyn, flying jets, working on Wall Street and starring in a sci-fi series was the prerequisite for the fast-paced demands of talk radio. But, if that's what it takes to succeed, I'm glad I did it all.
I was definitely surprised when Talk Radio took off as a play. As a film it has become somewhere between a popular thing and a cult thing.
As a really young child, I was listening to the echoes of the age before, music hall and stuff like that, as well as classical bits on the radio.
I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads.
I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.
From the time I was 8 years old I was on almost every radio show there was.
I was a huge Radiohead fan growing up.
