More quotes by Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.
Brian Eno

Brian Eno
I see TV as a picture medium rather than a narrative medium.
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 set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.
Brian Eno
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?
Brian Eno
When you make something you are always offering some choices and denying others.
Brian Eno
I do sometimes look back at things I've written in the past, and think, 'I just don't remember being the person who wrote that.'
Brian Eno
The dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples' attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian Eno
The most important thing in a piece of music is to seduce people to the point where they start searching.
Brian Eno
If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be.
Brian Eno
Admirers can be a tremendous force for conservatism.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
