All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.
Brian Eno
Image
I have these headphones, which pretty much exclude everything else so that you can really completely control the sound that you're hearing. I don't use them very much, I have to say. I very rarely listen on headphones.
Brian Eno
Image
I love the sort of ambivalence of this, the ambiguity of something - being, for instance, in a quite busy Mexican restaurant with one of these very gentle tracks playing I remember as being particularly nice.
Brian Eno
Image
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.
Brian Eno
Image
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Image
I often work by avoidance.

Art is not an object, but a trigger for experience.
Brian Eno
Image
The philosophical idea that there are no more distances, that we are all just one world, that we are all brothers, is such a drag! I like differences.
Brian Eno
Image
Whenever there's a new music, there's a new way of listening. And whenever there's a new way of listening, there are new musics that follow from that. And people start listening differently - that can either mean in different places or at different volumes or in different social groups or through different technologies.
Brian Eno
Image
With all fashion, what we do is play at being somebody else. We play at inhabiting another kind of world.
Brian Eno
Image
At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art.
Brian Eno
Image
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
Image
Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren't susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.
Brian Eno
Image
If you're in a forest, the quality of the echo is very strange because echoes back off so many surfaces of all those trees that you get this strange, itchy ricochet effect.
Brian Eno
Image
I often say to people that producing is the best paid form of cowardice. When you produce things you almost always get credit, if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
Brian Eno
Image
You can't really imagine music without technology.
Brian Eno
Image
I've noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it's far enough in the future.
Brian Eno
Image
I felt extremely uncomfortable as the focal point, in the spotlight. I really like the behind the scenes role, because all my freedom is there.
Brian Eno
Image
I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.

Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
