My favorite time of day is to get up and eat leftovers from dinner, especially spicy food.

On its face, the line is a deliberately mundane confession: pleasure is found not in grand events but in small, private rituals—waking up and eating what remains. The emphasis on “leftovers” and “especially spicy food” suggests a taste for intensity and immediacy, but also for the improvised and the unglamorous. Read as a persona statement, it undercuts celebrity mystique by foregrounding ordinary appetite and habit. If genuinely Byrne’s, it would fit a public image that often favors the quirky, observational, and anti-pretentious—finding meaning (or humor) in everyday behavior rather than in self-mythologizing.
