I always use the same guitar I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
Complexity and intelligence grow from simplicity, not from greater complexity.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that. I think the system is as right as you judge it to be. If for some reason you don't like a bit of it you must trust your intuition on that. I don't take a doctrinaire approach to systems.
Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
I occasionally meet people and they say, 'Oh, I was born to Discreet Music'... They always have very weird eyes, those people.
Brian Eno
Attention is what creates value. Artworks are made as well by how people interact with them - and therefore by what quality of interaction they can inspire.
Brian Eno
Even though I'm known as a pop musician, I have a seriousness about what I do.
Brian Eno
Try to make things that can become better in other people’s minds than they were in yours.
Brian Eno
There is a sort of convergence starting to happen between the computer and musical instruments, but it's still quite a long way off.
