“When we were making Speaking in Tongues and Remain in Light, we were j...” — Tina Weymouth Quote

When we were making Speaking in Tongues and Remain in Light, we were jamming. From that we were taking the best bits and then recording and improvising on top of those.

I wasn't originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.

Even the Beatles found it hard to escape their image; they were trapped by it.

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.

David is purely a conceptual artist. He didn't play any instruments or paint or anything. We were painters.

The horrible truth is that I am lazy and I am going to write and do bits that just hand themselves to me.

I think we could jam a bit more in our coffins than we do. I'm going to have some books, some I haven't finished or haven't read, some feathers and nice bits and pieces, the odd note. Just on the journey for the next bit.

I can't go shopping like I did before I was famous. It has to be planned now. I can't walk around a shopping centre. Even when I have four security guards with me, shoppers run towards me. It's fun, but it's difficult when you're trying to get your bits.

Money is information, like bits.

All my children are blessings. I love them to bits. They're my world.
