Tina Weymouth tells Pitchfork, "I hate it when journalists say 'formerly of Talking Heads.' What are you talking about? It is a little weird -- it’s almost cultish to identify with a group and not as an individual. But that happens to bands."
Her husband, Chris Frantz, adds, "It was such a big part of our lives. We can never escape it."
And David Byrne followed that up by saying, "But in a good way! When it became obvious that [Stop Making Sense] was going to come back out -- new print, new sound, new distribution and all that -- whatever differences we might have had, we put them aside and said, 'No, we really believe in this, we're all united, and we all feel the same way about this.'"
But Weymouth says they haven't looked beyond the reissue of the film at all. "We’re just savoring the moment. We’re so happy that it’s resulted in this wonderful thing that’s lasted 40 years. And we’re not really looking too far into the future. We might be standing on the corner and a bus will knock us down. We’re super glad we’re alive. We’re all four here to enjoy this moment."
