That's the one for my tombstone... Here lies David Byrne. Why the big suit?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A suit is a sign of respect.
Because I went from the 'Daily Show' where I was a fake news guy on a fake news show, to 'Bruce Almighty' where I played a news guy, to 'Anchorman' where I played a news guy, now I'm... yeah, I tend to gravitate towards suits.
You got to realize that the vision, the image, according to 1964 U.S. rock and roll standards, was mohair suit and tie, and nicey-nicey ol' boy next door.
In the beginning, you know, everyone told me, 'Your eyes are too small, the nose is too big, you can never be on a magazine cover.' But, you know what? The big nose is coming with a big personality.
I'd like to be known for more than being the guy in the big suit.
The whole shadow of Man is only as big as his hat.
The tombstone is about the only thing that can stand upright and lie on its face at the same time.
I kept the same suit for six years and the same dialogue. They just changed the title of the picture and the leading lady.
My gravestone will say, 'Here Lies Damon Lindelof - Or Does He?'
The suit does not represent the businessman anymore. Nor does the loud shirt represent the rock star. The same man can now wear both.
