Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno
Well, there are some things that I just can't get out of my head, and they start to annoy me after a while. Sometimes they're of my own creation, as well - and they're just as annoying. It's not only other people's ear worms that bug me, it's my own, as well.
Brian Eno
The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band
Brian Eno
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
Brian Eno
It's nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn't think of.
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno
