Brian Eno
Editing is now the easiest thing on earth to do, and all the things that evolved out of word processing - 'Oh, let's put that sentence there, let's get rid of this' - have become commonplace in films and music too.
Brian Eno
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.
Brian Eno
I'm kind of an evangelical atheist.
Brian Eno
A studio is an absolute labyrinth of possibilities - this is why records take so long to make because there are millions of permutations of things you can do. The most useful thing you can do is to get rid of some of those options before you start
Brian Eno
