People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.

Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!

I think one of my pursuits over the years is trying to answer the question of 'what else can you do with a voice other than stand in front of a microphone and sing?'
Brian Eno
Image
I think that there's something that I still like about the fact of a package, like the latest report from somebody. Okay, this is what they're up to now this is what they're doing who's working with them?

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don't fit in a very interesting way.

When I've finally got the title, I think, Okay, yes, now I know where we are. Now I know what it is. Fine, that must be finished or nearly finished.
Brian Eno
Image
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
Brian Eno
Image
You feel as if you're not living a full life. Which, of course, is why - it's my theory about why so many people who are heavily into computers are also into extreme sports and S&M. It's because their bodies are crying out for some kind of action.
Brian Eno
Image
I think the idea that people walk around to music is very interesting. They are actually creating the soundtrack to their lives as they walk around to it.
Brian Eno
Image
I have a definite talent for convincing people to try something new. I am a good salesman. When I'm on form, I can sell anything.

One often makes music to supplement one's world.

Sometimes you recognize that there is a category of human experience that has not been identified but everyone knows about it. That is when I find a term to describe it.

In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it

Some people say Bowie is all surface style and second-hand ideas, but that sounds like a definition of pop to me.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

A culture is the sum of all the things about which humanity can choose to differ.
