More quotes by Brian Eno
I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.
Brian Eno
I often work by avoidance.
Brian Eno
The smart thing in the art world is to have one good idea and never have another.
Brian Eno
I'm very good with technology, I always have been, and with machines in general. They seem not threatening like other people find them, but a source of fun and amusement.
Brian Eno
I can see the use and value of religion, just as I can see the use of mud wrestling, yoga, astronomy and sadomasochism. but I reject the idea that you can't be a deep human being without it or any of them.
Brian Eno
I take sounds and change them into words.
Brian Eno
In art, you CAN crash your plane and walk away from it

Brian Eno
Except in a few cases like Music for Airports, which was a very clear case of noticing a niche [and] saying, Okay, there's this situation in which people always play music, and nobody has written music for that situation so I'm going to. So, that was a very clear example of spotting a niche and working for it. I have done that occasionally.
Brian Eno
Since I have always preferred making plans to executing them, I have gravitated towards situations and systems that, once set into operation, could create music with little or no intervention on my part. That is to say, I tend towards the roles of planner and programmer, and then become an audience to the results
Brian Eno
In my normal life I'm a very unadventurous person.
Brian Eno
Robert Fripp and I will be recording another LP very soon. It should be even more monotonous than the first one!
Brian Eno
The idea that something is uncool because it’s old or foreign has left the collective consciousness.
Brian Eno
John Cage made you realise that there wasn't a thing called noise, it was just music you hadn't appreciated.
Brian Eno
I've never used a PC in my life I don't like them.
Brian Eno
One often makes music to supplement one's world.
Brian Eno
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
Brian Eno
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
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
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
