More quotes by Brian Eno
When people censor themselves they're just as likely to get rid of the good bits as the bad bits.
Brian Eno
The artists of the past who impressed me were the ones who really focused their work.

I like some of my water to be neatly presented in a bottle. With a label on it.
Brian Eno
I think we're about ready for a new feeling to enter music. I think that will come from the Arabic world.
Brian Eno
Of all the things you can now do, which do you choose to do?
Brian Eno
Not many people bought Velvet Underground LPs, but those who did, started a band.
Brian Eno
American television really is pathetic.
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
I take sounds and change them into words.
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
People who are very confident in themselves aren't hurt by criticism. They make use of it.
