Brian Eno
One of the things you're doing when you make art, apart from entertaining yourself and other people, is trying to see what ways of working feel good, what feels right.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno
Set up a situation that presents you with something slightly beyond your reach.
Brian Eno
If I had a stock of fabulous sounds I would just always use them. I wouldn't bother to find new ones.
Brian Eno
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
As struggles go, being an artist isn't that much of one.
