The whole history of pop music had rested on the first person singular, with occasional intrusions of the second person singular.

I know that if I had a television in my flat I would convince myself that everything on it was really interesting. I would say, 'I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out of Here!' is so sociologically fascinating that I think I'd better watch.

When you sing with a group of people, you learn how to subsume yourself into a group consciousness because a capella singing is all about the immersion of the self into the community. That's one of the great feelings - to stop being me for a little while and to become us. That way lies empathy, the great social virtue.

The problem with computers is that there is not enough Africa in them.
Brian Eno
Image
If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
Brian Eno
Image
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
Brian Eno
Image
If you've spent a long time developing a skill and techniques, and now some 14 year-old upstart can get exactly the same result, you might feel a bit miffed I suppose, but that has happened forever.
Brian Eno
Image
The point about working is not to produce great stuff all the time, but to remain ready for when you can.

Image
Don't be ashamed of your own ideas. Most musicians get applauded for sounding like someone else.

The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian Eno

If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.

I'm very opinionated.
